I want to see Mustie carrying this thing, while it's running, into Walmart while powering his cell phone with it.
Or a huge 90w JVC boombox playing "The Future's So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades).
👍👌👏😁😂 LOL, that's a good one!
Best regards, luck and health.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The way that thing creeps along, maybe he could ride it there.
...but by the handle.....anyone who tried to pick up the thing from the bottom while running, deserves the nickname "Stumpy"
Hi Mustie ,I found out they were made in the 50s, 1000 watts ,115 A.C. ,24 DC ,at 10 amps . Hope this helps . Hope y'all are doing great . Thanks for the videos .I used to in my younger days did the same as you . Finding stuff and repairing it . Keep on having fun .🔨🔧🔩👍
I did a quick search online for the model number and found a crazy technical bulletin from the Department of Natural Resources in Wisconsin from 1971. The doc was titled "A Guideline for Portable Direct Current Electrofishing Systems". In it there is a reference to this model as the Powermaker AC-DC Generator
(Model EAD-1250)
Rating: 115 volts, 10 amperes,
1150 watts
No Load Voltage: 260 volts
Voltage Regulation: 126%
This is a single-phase, 400 hz, AC
generator with a permanent magnet field,
and a rectifier to produce DC.
John Blase Great research , good numbers! Thanks
What the heck would a 400 hz AC be used for?
RobertJLessard Military
@@RobertJLessard Any application where weight is an issue. Lower frequency power requires heavier transformers, so small craft in aviation and on the water went for a higher frequency. Lower frequency's main proponent is less transmission loss over distances. Small craft don't have an issue with that.
@@RobertJLessard I believe 400HZ is Aircraft power system spec (might have been used as a mini ground test GPU/APU) especially given the 3 suction cup base for possible securing on a horizontal surface skin somewhere on an aircraft during ground testing.
This guy just comes across as one wholesome, genuine dude
That is a Power Maker, built in Torrance Calif during The 1960's, by Gus Suddmier. A friend of mine worked there and often I would ride with him as we would drive around LA and pick up the parts to make them. Gus was an inverter and had many patents. One of his inventions was on the "Moon Buggy" and was used to look for Oil. He also invented the "Instant Hot water system that ran hot water through the pipes so you always had instant hot water.
I live in lomita next to torrance.What a small world.
I think that my favorite part of these videos is hearing the "Mustie Chuckle" when an engine fires off and runs for the first time!
That's what I love about his videos. He truly enjoys what he is doing.
No wonder nobody has seen one of these before, when you start them up they wonder off.
Thats a good one i laughed at that too thought it was going to take off
I used to be an authorized service guy for these I haven't seen one since about 1988 your carb adjustment if I remember right 1/2 to 3/4 turn out after assembling the carb then adjust accordingly the ac/dc should have been marked at some time beside the two receptacles one was ac the other was dc. lucky find! It's crazy how good of shape it is still in
I was Just going to ask. At the Beginning on the Bottom. One Plug has a Red Circle of paint and the Other a Gray circle... Always nice to Have 12volt on a Generator
@@bansheemania1692 if I remember right the data plate had the same marking next to the ac and dc specs
Probably was 120v ac and dc some older tools ran on both
Bad design to have the same type of socket for AC and DC outputs.
@@jamesisenbart6523 looked to me like both could have had "115" for volts.
I've flown one of these older spacships...those plates with the + & - marks are the anti-gravity inducers...once charged they help it to achieve warp drive by turbo charging the dilithium crystals in the core plasma plant when they reach the “she can'nae take any more, captain” stage

@@cocopublicnews6766 yeah that might work.
Hey Mustie, I happen to actually have one of these powermaker generators. Little bit of info for you
It is a 1250 watt generator that does both AC and DC at 115 volts. Looking at the twist lock plugs the left plug (red dot on yours) is for AC power tools only, the right plug (silver dot on yours) does AC and DC together. Thats also a 360hz generator. Used often with small aircraft, and particularly old mining equipment like jack hammers, small rock crushers and most commonly used in charging the old electric/battery mine carts. Cool little piece of history.
Do you run yours at 3600rpm too? It seems really fast to me, but I don't own one or know any better! I was hoping he'd hook up a meter with an AC frequency checker and verify 360 cycles/sec
@@tester239 3600 is a little high on that. Mine runs 2900rpm and and runs almost 370hz at no load. Thou from what I gathered with these powermaker generators to test their output properly you need to run them at full load than adjust your rpm to reach you 115v. These generators were designed to be run at 90% load 100% of the time.
Is the ac only side also 360hz or just the other plug?
@@bradkenny1506 both plugs are 360hz, designed to run mining equipment mostly was what this was built for, some military use and aviation. All those equipments use 360-400hz. And the other plug will do both ac/dc not sure how it switches or does it but I've plugged my digital multimeter into them and tested both of AC, and got it. And in DC setting only the one plug, the DC was made to charge larger electric mine cars and machines. Very interesting set up, had people ask if I'd sell but not many around anymore and hard to put a price onto these.
should have been made for leaded fuel as well i would imagine
My Grandpa lived to age 86 and passed in 1952. He was a farmer you would not believe the unsafe equipment he worked with back then but there was one thing about him, he had a brain!

@@Bri-tg6xr Generate! GENERATE!!!
Right on, Mustie1... nice score finding that liittle slow-walkin'/loud -talkin' genset, no doubt. Thanks for reparing and sharing :-)
That's a beautiful design. Great looking little generator
Found this Ref:
(2) Powermaker AC-DC Generator
(Model EAD-1250)
Rating: 115 volts, 10 amperes,
1150 watts
No Load Voltage: 260 volts
Voltage Regulation: 126%
This is a single-phase, 400 hz, AC
generator with a permanent magnet field,
and a rectifier to produce DC. Machines of
this type are characterized by lightweight,
high-voltage regulation, and high ripple
content in the DC output voltage. Filtering
is necessary for electrofishing applications.
The characteristic on Figure 6 is curved
because of the large change in voltage (from
260 down to about 130 volts). This machine
actually has too low an output voltage to be
effective in electrofishing as can be seen on
Figure 6. Because the voltage is so low, the
machine never approaches its rated load
current of 10 amperes and much of the
output capability is wasted. Use of a transformer to increase the voltage of this machine (on the AC side since transformers
only function with AC power) could significantly improve the electrofishing performance.
Shit you nut,- this fanbase is solid and serious! gotta love the commitment ...
And no link, lol
Electrofishing eh? When was that legal?
@@stanburton6224 never
Dear@@stanburton6224
At about the same time when dynamite fishing was legal! 😁😂
Best regards, luck and health.
As the story goes: he set the generator free and now it’s vibrating it’s way all the way back to mars
It cant get far...Mustie took its back bone out. lol.
What an amazing mental image hahaha
Hahaha 43:56, I think that screwdriver left orbit too.
Max Maruszewski try 43:54
That might explain the AAA sticker at 1:07:00
Why I am sat here thinking, "Put a little hula skirt on it and a kermit head cut out on the top"? Surely those thoughts must be being influenced by current events. Thanks for keeping me sane Mustie. Always enjoy your vids.
Something very soothing and satisfying about watching you work on these mechanical devices. Inspirational, educational and entertaining.
Cheers from Montreal!
What instrument do you play ?
-The carbutator.
This actually looks like what a roomba would look like from the 50s
I thought the same thing...lol.
Isn't a roomba a vacuum?
@@eriklarson9137 Yes. When he put the generator on the floor at the end, it moved around similar to how the roomba moves.
On these type of carbs without float bowls, the large diaphragm is a pressure regulator. The lever and the spring provide a minimum “pop off” pressure. The fuel pump builds pressure against the closed needle valve. When fuel demand increases, pressure behind the diaphragm drops. Atmospheric air acting against the back side of the diaphragm acts to overcome the spring, opening the needle valve. As soon as the needle opens, pressure in the chamber increases. That acts against the diaphragm, forcing the needle shut again. With regulated pressure against the back side of the jets, fuel will meter properly under designed load conditions. The beauty of this type of system is that it can be operated in any orientation, usually on chainsaws. It’s also significantly less sensitive to vibration.
it need oils in air filter make it run little better because i used to have one carburetor just like that but can be pain in butt get it running it pend on how ya do it right
Explain, "designed load conditions" please?
look like he got few sense backwards it requires air suck in it push needle up to open valves to release fuel in bowl when air stop suck in carburetor it drop down needle to close valve stop fuel from overfilled bowl on carburetor
Sorry, what I’m talking about is the “fuel curve” of the carb. It’s the expected air flow versus the amount of fuel needed to maintain the correct air/fuel ratio. The venturi of the carb develops the vacuum signal that draws the fuel through the jets. You need to make sure your carb is sized to handle the demands of the engine you are bolting it to. Too small, and your engine won’t get enough air at wide-open throttle to make all the power it is capable of. To large, on the other hand, and the engine won’t idle well or maintain good mixture at wide open. As long as you are within the amount of air flow the carb was designed for, it will run well. You may have to adjust the mixture screws for air pressure changes such as altitude an so on.
Like we did in the old days to check the spark, “little brother, come here, hold this for a second”
You probably hung out with my older brothers!
dont think the plastic handle of a pair of plyers will save you either, ive been had twice lol
Ive checked it a couple times like that.
Bröther
That was my job my older brother got me everytime
So most of these types of videos, especially hour long ones, end by having the unit completely restored looking new and running perfectly.
What a nice change to see none of those things accomplished. It restores my faith in my fellow AMERICAN.
I like old things such as this that show their age.
Every Mustie video is just farting around with carbs, it's just his style. Other channels are just like "off camera I rebuilt the carb".
Most of those videos are nothing more than working hand tools that someone put in a bucket of water for a few months.
My gearhead pops said: "Paint don't make it run".
I was a Tecumseh dealer back in the day. Some of those carbs came with the gasket on top, some with the gasket on the bottom. The Tecumseh manual said to replace them in the order the original was. There was no guide as to which was which. That didn't help when the came in already disassembled. It was rare to make one run right anyway!
Same can be said for all Tecumseh...
The letter F on the bottom right hand corner in front,tells you which came first,if it had a F the diaphragm came first then the gasket.If no F it went the other way.
43:54 They say to this day he's still wondering where that screwdriver went
Knowing Mustie’s luck, the screwdriver dashed across the floor and killed the cricket in the corner.
I originally thought it bounced up underneath and caught in the spinning parts, but it was just him dropping the drill on the corner of the screwdriver handle and spitting it across the room like a watermelon seed. It took off quick, fast, and in a hurry, for that method of propulsion, though.
What a seriously great video, one of the most unique items you have done--and after the suitcase moped, you have to go some distance. My appreciation goes to Darren for giving me a new way to look at automotive problem solving. My oil drain plug had been wrenched down on by the guys I had do a quick oil change I could not get it off. I finally used heat and a pipe wrench powered by a mallet to get the plug (there was no rubber gasket so they had impacted it tight). The oil filter was rusted in place. I shredded the oil filter down to the top plate, and FINALLY got it to turn with an air hammer. Rusted tight which would be why it was an ancient Wix and NOT the Fram I gave them. It was not entirely fun, but with a new sense of Mustie inspired confidence comes some pride. The irony: There was a dead mouse caught up in the bracket right behind the oil pan. Now that, that was funny. Thank you Darren.
This guy’s know how, skill, ingenuity and attitude are all really great. I wish I had come across this channel sooner, but I’m making up for that and binge watching.
I'm sure you've had a million suggestions but I've personally had success with winter green oil and half gallon of water mix almost boiling. It really does soften the rubber, and swells it a bit. It doesn't swell it the way carb dip (old kind) does when the surface gets all slimy and breaks down. The wintergreen oil works really good on those diaphragm carbs, probably like 5 minute dip and its back to new. Stays that way too, ive a gpz750 with intake boots that are still soft and minty fresh after 5 years.
mustie 1 i been watching you from day one i am a lic plumber in ct own a co called leak master plumbing every day i run to my cumpter too see if u posted anything i think your the real deal on you tube !!! because of you i can fix most anything i have with a small motors just wonted to say thank you for your everything hope too meet you some day !!! ed bon jovi aka leak master plumbing in branford ct !!!!!!
Just want to thank you again, as you know we had a hurricane come through the Deep South this week. We were unaffected here in Montgomery Alabama but I knew if I needed it my generator was ready. Found out today it was not. Thanks to your fine videos I was able to disassemble the carb and clean the green gunk out of the main jet. I even thought of you when I ran the gas out of the bowl, the engine died, and I laughed out loud. Thanks again fantastic content I really appreciate it.
always run the entire generator system dry!!!!!! Then use fresh gas to fire it up else after 6 months or even a year your gas is old... Best reason to go LP Gas carb fitting... Make your own as they are outrageous to buy. Its a simple donut with supply hole ..well look it up and tell me. I bought one with and will be doing the donut for my other gas deteriorated, clogged, leaking, gunked up, generator which I ended up just doing a gravity drip feed with small tube and adjustable clamp.
hey a fellow alabamian. my dads family is from montgomery
colin-man yeates-clan I usually run the bowl dry pump out the tank and dry it out with paper towels before putting it back after use. And I try to fill with ethanol free gas. However tornado season and hurricane season are close enough and it being 2020 I thought I could leave the gas in there 5 months.
North Florida here we were out of power for a week with no generator. Needless to say we bought one yesterday. And Mustie will always be around if I need to work on it lol.
Who else was yelling “clamp that down!” ?
I did hahaha lol
I was yelling “ put a load on it, that’s when it should run up to 3200!”
I came here to say this.
We had several of those on the farm back in the 70's when I was a kid, we used them to run the tank heaters that were not by electric to keep the cows water tanks from freezing and emergency for the house in winter. Hearing that fire up brought back memory's.

After watching a bunch of How to carb vids, one Mustie vid answers all the questions the others left me with. I love how you talk to us like we’re there and explain everything. Also love the “wrong” edits.
I have never seen one before, but it was very nice to see you working on it! I piddle with small engines as a hobby and I really like this video! Thank you!
Ok of all the cool and interesting small engines and “cool junk” that I’ve watched you wrench on over the years I must say...I think this little guy is my favorite! What an awesome piece!!
Jeez that’s a loud little angry bastard. That would be so peaceful at the campsite lol.
!!WHAT!!
They didnt really use them camping it was more for farm and home use back then
Only for the 10 minutes it would take Wall-E to wander off by itself down a hiking trail.
As others have noted, this is a 400 Hz generator, which is used in aircraft and ships; thus the reference to the military background of the manufacturer. Your large corded grinder will work on it because that's a universal motor (has brushes) which will run on AC or DC or different frequencies of AC. A pure resistive load, like an incandescent lamp or a heater will also work, but you sould avoid plugging in a modern speed controlled motor.
You sure would not want that thing running on an aircraft while flyng but maybe it was used for maintenance purposes?
Are you going to start a museum? A Guy Museum. Will have useless but fascinating mechanical devices. Maybe some steam engines!
MRIGuy A couple of posts have said they were used in aviation. I do not think that is correct. No airplane would have a generator like that in it. Larger WWII era aircraft did have a “putt-putt” generator to assist in starting, but they were bespoke equipment permanently installed in the aircraft. (See B-29 Kee Bird story).
This thing is clearly a low price consumer product, and not designed for any specialized aviation purpose.
Very cool episode!!! The carburetor is one that uses atmospheric pressure vs. Pulsating Vacuum to operate the fuel flow and pumps fuel into the fuel chamber. More precise fuel metering is done with the high & low needle valves. Sometimes , leaky crank seals and leaky gaskets elsewhere on the 2-stroke engines can negatively affect the performance... It is one of the reasons WHY running a ball hone in the cylinder with a fresh set of rings, can really bring these engines back to life... Using a 32:1 fuel/oil mix really works good on these engines... I like using 92 or higher octane with a synthetic 2-stroke oil... The timing should be set to factory recommendations... Changing the point gap will affect the ignition timing... Good job on re-newing the points, and yes the fuel inlet valve , seat & spring should be changed with a new diaphragm.... It probably would have been a good idea to dip the stripped carb body into carb cleaner before putting the new parts into it. The absence of the packing spring on the low end needle valve can cause some air/ fuel leakage and cause hunting of rpm in that rpm range... New 'o' rings should be used with those needle valves with a drop of oil before installing the needles... Good job on the governor function repair!!! Xlnt video Mustie!!!
Awesome job, well done.Good outcome. bit of a tidy and it's done.Nice one.
That is what is left of the last guy that touched the underneath when generator was running.

I think that bone was one of the last guys fingers.
Nice find. That's a collectors item. I believe Clinton also made a tank incorporated to the shroud . Good video.
Tuning that thing up and plugging into it was a mighty brave move, I'll give you that.
We all love the looks of 50's through 70's equipment!! Safety be damned!!
Would love to see this forwarded to Hand Tool Rescue for a complete resto.
Can’t believe that engine was one we tore apart in small engine class. Sounds like a chain saw. Be careful with the needle bearings on the crankshaft. I ya miss one or don’t install them properly the engine stops abruptly and leaves a gouge in the cylinder. Thanks for sharing. Makes me feel ancient
I rebuilt one of those for a post hole auger. Had a devil of a time finding a diaphragm for it. Didn't want to shop online but I had to, looked under every rock around here. I remember years ago that Grandad had a universal diaphragm that you cut to size and punch your holes in. Guess products like that just aren't around anymore. Glad to see you found one, you must have great local resources for that stuff.
Neighbors are gonna love you when you run that thing at the campsite! Super loud! Nice work, thanks for a great Sunday start-up!

I just love how this generator looks like it does and is how many decades old still runs and puts out power but a 1-2 yr old $1000 generator will crap out and cost more to fix than a new one. Gotta love technology!
when that thing was scooting across the floor all i could think was it looks like a 50's prototype for the garage Roomba
Now you have to find another one so they can race around the shop!
Ooh, that reminds me, I haven't checked my generator for chicken bones.
Another fine job by the Wizard of 2 Strokes.👍👍👍
What a great find. It looks fantastic and a little dangerous. I'd say early sixties. In any case, that dog needs a leash. Otherwise she's likely to wander off. It would be a great accessory for an early Airstream trailer with the Powermaker and the Airstream fully restored.
I don't want to meet the mouse that dragged that chicken bone into the starter housing...
Very educational and entertaining. Unique design .Thanks for sharing.

On a serious prevention (for today), fashion a wire screen cover for the bottom to allow air but deter anything else entering.
Nice little R2 unit you found, neat project! A shame they don't make them anymore, not even with some rabbit wire over the bottom.
I’m soo happy I found your videos they’ve helped me soo much breaking into small engines from only working on cars I actually rebuilt a scooter in France that had sat for like 20years and was stripped! Had a blast all thanks to you and your knowledge!!

The craziest cool mechanical items always find their way to you. Another one for the Mustie museum.
Regarding cleaning the points. You can get a diamond dust nail file from most cosmetic supplies. I used mine for cleaning points on my truck back in the 90's
2nd comment. After you checked the points. You should wire brush the cavity. Scrub out all the rust and residue in the cowling or ducting..
3rd comment. After you spun up the rotor and got a spark, you should wire brush the radiator fins around the piston cylinder housing.
You are going to have heat transfer radiation impaired if those fins are not clean. This will reduce your power when the engine is overtemp.
4th comment. Good job on the light bulb test. But again, I would polish any open surface to remove corrosion or adhesion. If it is a temperature conducting surface, use glyptol to coat and seal the metal.
5th commend. You popped the carburetor diaphragm. All those delicate parts you can put into an ultrasonic GUNK washer. Takes off the crud and leaves a clean surface behind.
19:08 Once you have the heart of the carburetor open, soak it in a light kerosene to dissolve oil or gasoline residue. Compressed air will just dry it and leave a sticky film.
20:58 The outside of the fuel tank, just use a stiff non-metallic brush to knock off the debris. If you want to repaint, use a wire brush. But right now, a stiff brush is ok.
31:30 Wow! What did you brush on the outside of the tank? That was fast and furious. I could read the label after you brushed it off.
33:09 Good job on removing the diaphragms. Next time gently heat them in a very light motor oil 10w or a light olive oil.
Loving your video. Got to get to bed now. Will view the rest tomorrow.!
Do I like it? Yes I do. I would be all over that with a wirebrush and Rustoleum to make it pretty. :)
Oh THIS is gonna be fun!! Gotta be a 60’s contraption! I’m gonna enjoy watching this!!😁

Absolutely not it's raw power not pure sinewave clean power.
@@MarksKicksOnRoute66 It is a typical permanent magnet alternator so it should be a reasonable approximation to a sine wave output. The frequency and voltage may drift all over the place but it will be fine for many types of loads. Vintage TV might complain but modern electronics should be quite happy as they rectify the mains anyway. A fridge compressor may fail to start and run hot if the RPM/frequency drops but the thermal protection should let you know if that is a problem.
How about a power source for an electric scooter? There's a few going super cheap, so I hear.

Wow that motor sort of reminds me of a little boat motor my grandpa gave us when I was about 10 back in the 50s. The motor sounded like it was about to explode, ran hotter than hell and the boat only moved about 2 mph. Sometimes when using the spark disconnect, it would deliver a nasty little surprise but you get used to it ... eventually. My brother and I would always flip to see who got the honors, mua ha haaa . Put that puppy on a leash before he gets away ! Also, where we live, it's against the law to dig stuff out of the dump once it's been deposited. They can fine you and revoke your permit.
Carbs labeled with an "F"have the gasket on one side of the diaphragm, those without the "F"have the gasket on the other side of the diaphragm. I can't recall which is which. Taryl has a video on which way it goes.
Believe it or not, I actually have some of those carb diaphragms in stock....I think I even have some of the “float” valves.

It reminded me of those old high tech football games as a kid when you line up 22 guys on a metal field offense and defense and turn it on and the vibration sends them everywhere. Appropriate for today I suppose.
Had one of those, stupidest toy I was ever given. Then, I don't prefer football.
that dates the both of us !
@@cut-- i'd hate to see what dates you
Electric Football!!!! We played that until our parents were sick!
@@btj1844 Oh that loud buzzing noise.....lol
Excellent find !
Great video and as always great repair !!

Pretty cool. Congrats on figuring it out. I can see why it wasn’t a commercial success. Loud and very dangerous.
I love the mad scientist laugh the first time he gets something to turn over.......
Then the big one when it coughs to life
Classic Mustie HA!
I, for one, welcome our two-stroke alien overlords
Enjoyed the video very much, the sounds bring back the days of my life in the early 60s when my dad and I started building go-karts, our first engine was a 1 1/2 hp Power Products from a neighbor's lawnmower, then we move up to a 2 1/2 hp Clinton we went thru several of them, all used from someone my dad knew, then it was a 6 hp power products engine from my uncles Humco riding mower, by 1964 my kart was powered by 2, West Bends, Super 700's specially built for go-kart racing, with a live axle. Then I got my driver's licenses and sold the go-kart and all the parts for $400.00 about 1/4 of what I had invested in it too by a car. The hard work, experience, and knowledge I gained during that time were priceless. I went on to become an Engineer mainly from the enjoyment and experience I got from building and making things run better.
I enjoy you sharing the excitement of discovery when opening old equipment.
One plug is AC one plug is DC, the plates under it are the Rectifiers, the DC comes straight off the gen coils. I have one, mine is 400 Hz, be very careful not to plug anything into it with electronics, the Hz will fry it.
Actually most electronics with switchmode power supplies would be just fine, they don't care since they rectify the incoming power first thing anyway.
The specs say it's an Alternator.... AC output.
@@WApnj yeah hence the Rectified DC power. Didn't think that one through...
The navy used to use 400 cycles so they could use less copper in the transformers.
I like the new way you did the final shot using a background, and summing up the project.
That was back when people could apply the brakes on their car themselves. And they could stay in their lane too. Or at least they knew it was their responsibility to stay in their lane.
Outside of the auto drive teslas in auto drive mode, im pretty sure you still have to be able to apply the brakes yourself, it is kinda a law that your vehicle has to have fail safes on the brakes so that you can apply the brakes on a vehicle even if the engine is not running so i dont really understand the joke of when people could apply the brakes themselves... also lane departure systems are not standard theres still tons of vehicles made with no lane departure system at all, also that system isnt meant to replace a good driver its meant to augment the drivers ability to drive, so in moments when you cant tell if your in lane it can assist... the joke of life was better in the 70s seems pretty odd considering how much safer modern cars both in preventing accidents but also keeping the occupants safe in the event of a crash...
Great find. You're not the only one with a stray cricket in the garage - I've had one behind my workbench for the past few days and getting weaker!
He makes it look so simple on how to troubleshoot starting problems.
@Big Wheel that's how i was Tought. No Start . Check Fuel. 2. Check spark. Follow either system till problem Is found.
Mustie I've been with you from the off and that little fuel bottle proves itself time and again , first thing I made to make life easier .I allways previously used a syringe .regards from an old Limey b .....d .
Back in my day we called those "bonehead generators". If you put the bone back you'll get that extra 100 rpm.
Love that air tool for the screws.
