Re: [A/S] Re: solar installation
The 300 watt Honda runs the A/C just fine. The only thing I don't like
about it is that it's jetted for 5,000 feet altitude or less, otherwise
it runs real rich and clogs up. It's a simple job to change the carb
jet, but I miss the old carbs where you could just fiddle with a mixture
screw.
I found the best setup was to jet it for high altitude, and then use the
choke to lean it out when below 5,000 ft. Honda service techs said that
was OK.
The 1000 watt genset runs fine no matter where it is, but alas, won't
run much in the trailer except small things.
