Wow! That little sub-project turned out very well, Jordan.. Congratulations.

When I first heard one of those running, all properly muffled, I was surprised how quiet it was. More so than the average gas lawn mower I think, and it gets a bit quieter when under a charging load it seems as well, if I recall correctly.

Nice find for the chorehorse ground strap by the way. Hard to tell if it is early or late pattern under the wing nut. Early ones simply had the end flattened and solder dipped, with a hole drilled into it. I suspect that caused a few wing nuts to get lost, having to completely remove them, which negated the ‘quick release’ concept somewhat as well. Later straps had an an angled slot cut into them rather than just a hole, and I think some makers may have added a small square of folded over sheet metal slotted at an angle as well. These allowed a simple loosening of the wing nut rather than complete removal.

You are going to be on the road and on the air with your WIRE-3 in no time, Sir!

David
