Found what could be a bargain on ebay in the form of a Genset Genplus 14kva Genny for 700 notes. Its a fair way from me so if i'm gonna treck all that way I want to test it, but i'm not the most mechanically knowledgeable fella (I know fook all about engines of any sort) so thought i'd ask the more mechanically astute on here the best way to test it and what I need to be checking.

I did think of setting my machine up and just running water through it to test if it powers the machine and that it doesn't stall when stopping and starting the gun, would this be an accurate test given that its not actually pumping anything and therefore not facing any resistance on start up?

is there another way of testing that the genny is operating at full power and running properly?
