[AT] Fuel Usage

[charliehill]

Cecil I didn't think about that.  I bet the boomer is engine rated too.  If 
it is a 12 KW genset will knock it flat with a heavy starting load.   I 
rented a 15 KW diesel gen set for a job back in the summer and starting a 5 
HP 3 ph motor would pull it down to the point I thought it would choke off 
before the motor would come up to speed.  I'm thinking maybe the motor 
capacitor might be going bad.
