what size generator do i need to power my kindlet 240 volts single phase

We don't sell the Chinese stuff but you can pick them up on eBay for about £900 sometimes they last years if looked after often they last 15 minutes .

 

We sell a pramac p6000s last time I looked it was about £2500.00 +vat genuine yanmar engine and really quiet.

 

 

Are Yanmar engines as good as Honda or about the same?

Imo I would say the same possibly honda have the edge. A single cyl air cooled 3000 rpm engine is never going to be the best. I noticed overhaul times are about 2200 hours and the warranty last time I looked on the yanmar was about 2000 hrs. If looked after I would expect 4-5000 hours out of them.

 

But I would expect 30-40,000 hours out of a 1500 rpm watercooled 3/4 cylinder quality engine.

we have now a 10 kva generator for the kindlet works fine
