Hello, David:
First time I've seen a post of yours over here. Welcome to the new site.

I've read your posts over on the other site, and you gave alot of helpful input over there.
You have much to offer here, keep it up.

Yes, the things you read on the inter-net or otherwise is kinda' amusing at times, others with misled understanding by first look at one, and lack of research before commenting. Not only on the 12s, but on the V6s also.
I laughed when I read your comment about turning them up to 5,000. I'd be just like you, and head for a hiding place. There would be a heck of lot of pig-iron flying around if it blew. I've unintentionally run one up to 3500 or so on a pump, and dreaded to get close enough to hit the kill-switch. It would vibrate the concrete slab, the stand was sitting on. Was also afraid, it would throw the pump shaft off. No scatter-shields, (guard) on the shaft back then, either.

Join us in the chatter when you want, it will always be helpful.
