All the systems with Outback VFX's I have put in have had absolutely no 
trouble at all with generator inputs. Note that the FX offers only two 
wire start for auto genny appliactions.

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history.

Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
