My talking about fuel cans made me go and drag this out of the shed, its a GG400 generator set, ive never tried to run it, do we have anyone here with a working example that could give me some tips on where to start?
My dog will be looking after it for this eve!
I have another bigger gen as well, but I need daylight to fetch that!

I also have two of these GG400 Generators in very good condition .I would like to convert a OT 810 to a radio version of the SdKfz 251/3 and these generators drove the radios .You see them alot on German ebay.
