Nice movie, much more fun when there´s a load on isn´t it?

Did you make the lamppost for the genny Jim?

Thanks Jan, no the lamp post came with it.

And yes, don't they sound better 'working'

she's running real nice at the end Jim, I like the cadence.

That's a nice pairing Jim - they work well together. A Centurion TE is definitely on my wanted list - just have to get past these hit and miss models.

Nice video Jim ... relaxing even though it is work that is being done ... just not me doing the work.

That "Jensen" Centurion TE is mighty nice as an auxiliary power source, which is how TE's were often used!

I like the gas burner.

That "Jensen" Centurion...

Well spotted Daniel, missed that completely the first time around

Jim, absolutely no insult intended! I love the movie...and even more now, being aware of that little blooper in there.
Please just say the word, and this (unlisted) prank will disappear.

Thanks guys for the replies.........and

Did I really say a Jensen TE

(I'm on the road and can't play the YT vid just now)

Now THAT'S a Freudian slip

I watched it a few times before I uploaded it and didn't catch it.

p.s Jan, no don't take it down its funny

Edit: just got to watch Jan's clip, Jenny is doubled over laughing

Hilarious

The grandchildren are coming over later, this will make them scream with laughter when they watch Jan's clip.

I like the production values.

But here is my 1 cent: I think a smaller pulley should be used on the generator or better yet a larger pulley on the engine. I never like running my engines at fill tilt without a load and even with thiscload on, the engine isn't loaded enough in my opinion.

Hi CB, I wouldn't want to change the original flywheel on the TE.
A smaller flywheel on the genny would be an easy thing to make.

Anymore load on the engine would have stopped it dead in its tracks. A lot of people comment how powerful these Mamod (Jensen

) TE's are, but I've never thought that they are. Most definitely more powerful than a normal Mamod though.
