Q: ramman@dodgecity.cc wrote in retrospect it might not be too great or costly a task to install a small 50a sub-panel and move or extend breakers and all the handful of circuits ive identified as necessary over to it. this would allow me the ability to still manually connect via twist-lok connector the sub panel either to commercial power or to the gen set and be isolated from the main. ill hit the flea markets next weekend too theres big one n. of town that just might have a manual transfer switch. barring that how about a 2-pole double-throw nema-3 starter w/a little manual override switch on the coil remember po folk and po ways. any gensets have gfci the concept of gfci is a good one but depends on a good ground. if you intend to place the genset in the same spot it might be worth driving a good ground rod and pre-wiring a burndy connector and a good hunk of 3-0 or 4-0 cable. most commercial transfer switches will switch each phase as well as the neutral. in your application if you are intending to pipe the connections and i hope you do...no romex you can use the existing neutral. this is called a non-separately derived system. the only problem with this is usually caused by poor grounding in the existing home wiring and that problem is ground loops due to parallel grounds at differing potentials. here is a good article with illustrative pictures http//www.imsasafety.org/journal/marapr/ma5.htm .
