@vrand:
Not for now, i will try to use the stock timing for the engine. But if i have to change it....i will. My goal is to make this as simple as i can, so others can copy it with ease 

Also the total cost for me to set this up using AC main power is $0.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used all scrap parts i FOUND!

Anyone know what the stock timing might be at on B&S 14HP engine?

This is several videos showing waters power exploding.  Blows several things apart in earlier videos.

Hi xbox,

From what I've googled, the ignition is fixed on the B&S flywheel with a key, and opens few degrees before TDC.  S1R ran his B&S without changing the timing, but the RPM surged a bit and only idled.

Some say that a standard inverter charger at 60Hz cant charge fast enough for higher engine power output.

Great to hear you had all the parts needed to build a unit for free

Hi Dmoney

Interesting video on the experiment where you submurged the spark plug in lots of water (6min 50sec into the video) and it exploded the water and blew the 1 liter bottle and cap off the mount!

What kind of water did you use? Which circuit used to power the spark plug?

It is not my video.  If you notice it is #12.  There are 14 videos.  In video 2 he starts using just tap water and does not change thru the rest.  He is not revealing everything yet, but I think in video 8 or 9 he show inside the box and talks of PWM and frequency.
