Carnival night here and the procession ended just before the rain began. No less than 5 floats using modern lightweight gennies had no lights due to genny failure. Those with girt British diesels were, of course, fully illuminated. Just an observation.

Strange you should mention modern gennies Roland. I have just acquired a (well) used Medusa 2300W genny, badged for SIP. I am looking for a copy of the manual that was with the thing when it was shipped new. Does anyone have a copy. Beer tokens available. My reply to address is valid should anyone here be too embarrassed to admit to owning one! I could try to get one sent from China if nobody here can help.

I've got a 950 Watt SIP Genny ( made in China ) and its a lovely little unit, runs my caravan happily enough. Would you like a copy of the manual from that. Cant be much difference only greater output.

If thats one of the SIP two stroke generators then I've gt a manual. I could scan it in and send it to you as an attachment. steve the grease
Thanks Martin and Steve for your kind offers. No it isn't the 2 stroke
850w / 950w, the Medusa 2300 is the 4 stroke 2300w (60Hz) 2000w (50Hz) jobby. Looking on ebay this seems to be variously badged. For a picture and scant specs. see the Chinese (in English) web site at:

Manufacturer's ID is the EM2700. 171cc 6 HP Yamaha engine. =20 My initial queries are, what oil, what *correct* plug and what plug gap. The manual then would be for future reference, and I'll bet I need it in the not too distant future 8-(

Phoned SIP and they photocopied the manual and posted to me 1st class mail. Excellent service, thanks SIP.
