While is is feasible, it certainly not currently an easy task to convert an OEM fan type generator. They worked for many years with a cut out. Since output is relativly low, one of the modern diodes will control back flow pretty well.

The IC chip John used was made by Texas Instruments. He started making these back in 1987. A lot of things have changed since then.
