Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: a cooling system which allows for indoor operation of an electric generator and associated engine, the cooling system comprising: a water-source conduit which allows water to flow from a source of water to a water inlet and at least one associated conduit within the electric generator; a pressure regulator connected to the at least one conduit for reducing the pressure of the water as it flows through the at least one associated conduit; an adapter plate engaged to the generator engine which receives the at least one associated conduit at a main hole water entry point; and a flow control nipple engaged to a bypass valve on the adapter plate which reduces the flow of water as it passes from the engine through the bypass valve, wherein the bypass valve allows water to bypass a thermostat and circulate through the engine before the water heats up to open the thermostat thereby allowing the engine to cool immediately after an initial start-up; wherein the water flows through at least one associated conduit into a wet exhaust manifold as it exits the bypass valve and wherein heated water flows through at least one associated conduit into the wet exhaust manifold as it exits the opened thermostat.
