I'm not. And depending upon what he sends, I have some image software to
convert to other file types to shrink its size.
If I can't shrink it, I can present it on my web space for download at
your (and other's) leisure.
Just make sure the subject line gets my attention to tell me I shouldn't
delete the post when I delete the spam.

a very good source of information on Generators is:
www.smokstak.com
Look for the Forums, and the Motor and Generator forum in particular.
Lots of good information, and helpful folks, some who are in the
Generator Maintainance and Repair Fields for outfits like Kohler,
Onan, Cummins, and The BIG Yellow CAT's....
