  How to increase Portable Generator Wattage output

And if you get to my part of KY, I've got a 9hp "smart" generator that's safe for running sensitive electronics and the like. I've used it successfully on my home entertainment system, computer equipment, satellite TV, satellite internet, etc. It's in top shape, I've just decided to get rid of my two gasoline generators for one diesel.

Dunno, what did the 17hp engine come out of? When running, was it air-cooled or liquid cooled?

  How to increase Portable Generator Wattage output

Be careful with your transfer pulley size. If that HF generator head is like most "dumb" generators, the output relies on a constant 3600 rpm input. Faster than that can create an over-voltage condition, slower can create an under-voltage

That wasn't a simple comment, it was serious advice. You are correct in stating that most gasoline small engines are governed to 3600 rpm. But that's the shaft speed. To turn the HF generator at that speed would require a direct coupler. But it's a belt-driven generator head, which means two pulleys. And no pulley is provided with the generator. Care needs to be taken to ensure a 1:1 ratio when selecting the driving pulley and the driven pulley, thus ensuring that the generator turns at the prescribed 3600 rpm as well
