I assume Charlie is asking about the 80 watt generator rather than the 300 watt Dirk has.

I can stick mine on the bathroom scales if that is of any use.

The frame does not add much to the weight and without it the generator is not complete. The side panels which clip on are also often missing and the hardest bit to find is the canvas cover which incorporates a handle which clips on to the frame.

Default My goodness-

The questions keep piling up -

As to the 80 watt version ( ST) I need to know what they weigh, and how big the box would be as I'm looking to have one shipped.. I accept that the one I'm looking at is in-complete, but it just fascinates me.

What does Dirk ask for the chorehorse?

Well I just weighed mine and it's about 44 pounds (20kg). It measures 14"L 14"H 7.5"W. My tiny little spare NOS spark plug is shown also. Ron

Default Thanks, guys,

Ron Pier; Well I just weighed mine and it's about 44 pounds (20kg). It measures 14"L 14"H 7.5"W. My tiny little spare NOS spark plug is shown also. Ron

Exactly what I needed to know.

(now how's about copies of any technical documents? - they're almost as much fun as the real thing..)

The tiny engine on this thing is most interesting.


thanks again.
