I'm not a generator tech by any means but it's not likely the capacitor. They usually lose the rectifier/ voltage regulator box. If you Google it their are plenty of videos that walk you through how to check voltages. If I remember correctly most generators have a low voltage side that charges...

If you want a cheap way to get some hands on. get yourself a cheap set of r134 gauges and a thermal gun grab a vehicle with functioning ac throw your gauges on let the system run and monitor pressures and temps. Than take some card board and restrict the air flow to the condenser and monitor its...

Thanks. I have some other box steel at work I'm gonna re purpose. And make a T base or A frame aswell as a gusset at the connecting point. All of the material I have for that is way over kill. So I don't have any concerns their. One side will be fixed with a pivot and the other will be the...

Thanks for your help Setting the beam will not be a problem. I have a bobcat and a fork lift. So if I followed your response correctly the beam is plenty adequate for my desired use correct ?

I would get a final many times they won't make you pay anything additional as all your doing is closing it out also in my area the minimum requirements for a garage are very low. A few lights and outlets and the exterior being finished aswell as any grading are about all that is necessary

Mine has anti slip in ithe second coat and their is one spot where my compressor will go that for logistical reasons we didn't put a second coat on. The anti slip makes a big difference it also helps to hide some of the blemishes in the coating and the floor

Just did mine with hellfire. Very cost effective i went with a extra coat of clear and with that it put me around 1.30$ sqf. Seams to be a good product. I'm not happy with the customer service the guy is pretty bad about responding to emails with questions and concerns if he responds at all and...
