    Ive been watching James for a few months now. <br>Hes gone from small basic generators and motors to what the heck kind of machine is this? <br>He has an encyclopedic knowledge of engines and explains every step of the process. <br>Hes the type of man that got us to the moon!

    thank you James. i know this is gonna sound odd but watching your videos brings me back to fond memories of my dad working on small engines (lawn mowers, lawn tractors weed-eaters, chainsaws etc etc) and him teaching me how to work on them too while i was growing up. you just unlocked some really good memories and i just wanted to thank you. we lost him back in 2011. so i really enjoy the crap out of your content. i wouldnt change one thing either.

    That&apos;s a surprise to see a single cylinder engine on a standby. &nbsp; After seeing the roots and such, &nbsp;it makes perfect logical sense why the technicians installed ours on a concrete riser 8in off the ground. &nbsp; I wouldn&apos;t have guessed that roots would have any interest in generators.

    I always learn things from your videos, and I’ve been messing with engines for ever. I thought it was worth mentioning that in before times we learned by working with others on things (new swear words,occasionally exposure to different equipment, tools and techniques), today YouTube is one of the places for seeing &nbsp;different work and learning.<br>Your vids and way of demonstrating are very good and enjoyable. Have a great day !

    It was longer than Oppenheimer but worth it. You have immense patience. That machine is clearly a survivor.
