Just to be clear, only the generator needs to turn 3600 RPM, not necessarily the engine. An engine with an abundance of power can be overdriven through pulleys or gears to produce 3600 RPM at the input shaft of the generator unit, while the engine itself turns at a much lower, and therefore more efficient RPM.Bear in mind, that unless you have an inverter on the genset, you must run the engine at a set RPM - usually 3600 RPM. You cannot (without an inverter) run it at a lower RPM unless the power unit is wired to run at a lower RPM (many diesel gensets run at 1800 RPM). Just sitting there at 3600 RPM, whether there is a load or not, will consume fuel.

There's no need to turn the engine 3600, when it's capable of producing 12-15 HP at 1200 RPM.
And if it were me, that would be the way I'd set it up on a 75hp Jeep 4-banger.True - but most gensets are direct drive with no gearing. Now a PTO is a different beast, usually geared to be a certain RPM at a certain engine RPM.
I wouldn't mind getting a little Chinese diesel to run all kinda crap off of.. this guy runs table saws, corn mills, generators etc with his.Just to be clear, only the generator needs to turn 3600 RPM, not necessarily the engine.

Yeah, don't ever pass up a chance to pick up a good-running small engine in the 8-20hp range. They're handy for all kinds of things, and often times can be had at yard/barn/garage sales for really cheap.I wouldn't mind getting a little Chinese diesel to run all kinda crap off of.. this guy runs table saws, corn mills, generators etc with his.
Just for reference, I've had folks call and ask what they could do about criminal legal problems. Several times, cops told them "t's a civil matter" and wouldn't do anything. I had the person write up a sworn complaint, or one using a declaration, give it to the cops and had the cops do a 180 and go after the individual named in the complaint.
An attorney, just like the rest of us, cannot file a criminal complaint for other than his or her self. Only prosecutors and citizens making a complaint can file them.
Update: Saturday before last I got a hold of the guy and let him know, gently, that I was dissapointed in how this was going and he said "This week" . That would have been last week. No call no wood. I waited until Sunday morning and called, three rings and to voice mail. I called yesterday morning, voice mail. I called this morning again and got voice mail. This afternoon i called from the cell phone and he answered. I told him I wanted to know if I was NOT going to get the wood so I could get the wood elsewhere and then look into how I could get my $100.00 back from him. He said he's been busy, a friend in the hospital, doesn't deliver much wood....He apologized and said, "This week".
I've looked into a small claims suit in Clackamas County, his partner in the business and her address and phone #. What a pain. Part of this is me I guess because I don't want to burn fir. There's reputable fir guys all over the place. I need to live in a part of this fricken state that wood is easy to come by!

I get that. I don't like burning fir either, too many trips to the wood box and blows hot coals out of the fireplace. I found an excellent oak firewood guy on Craigslist. He is not busy right now and he called me to find out if I wanted to buy more wood this year. Should have kept his number. They actually kiln dry the oak and split it in a wood processor. My only complaint is that the chunks are pretty small for a fireplace, but they work excellent in my wood cookstove. OK, looked on CL and here he is <broken link removed>
Expensive but well worth it. Here's the phone number since the ad will expire:

Highly recommended.
