QR Code Link to This Post
Hand crank start
Imported prior to the 2010 EPA ban by Sam Crosby: Georgetown ME
Probably the wisest backup power generator choice anyone with offgrid solar power could choose.
Diesel fuel does not go bad like gasoline. Diesel is an oil, not a solvent. It is shelf stable. It ignites by compression, no spark.
This high quality engine has a Bosch mechanical fuel injection pump.
Watercooled.
Highest quality listeroid, each was test run prior to leaving assembly plant
Poly ceramic lining inside crankcase…no sand
Some listers have been known to run continuously for 30yrs …80,000 hours without overhaul.
Brand new in crates. New vee belt pulley from Utterpower. Com
Uses a chevy 350 V8 commonly available serpentine drive belt between gen and engine
Sips fuel unlike anything else. This is the only diesel engine the amish would buy to make power for the air compressors which powered their washing machines….they still do not use electricity
Comes with a new ST 5kw generator head. And a generator frame
This is a stationary generator.
This unit Can make between 1600W at 400rpm to 5000W at 1000 rpm max.
The last of its kind as no more will ever be imported. Been in a garage for last 17yrs.
Can run on waste oil, wast fryer oil, waste transmission oil, WVO SVO Biodiesel vegetable oil, diesel fuel, heating oil kerosene …any viscous liquid fuel that is not solvent type like gasoline.
Runs like an old singer sewing machine…like a clock
So simple it makes a briggs and stratton lawnmower engine look sophisticated.
No engine is more reliable.
KISS principle in its finest form. The Beauty and reliability in its simplest form.. I don’t imagine this will appeal to EV adopters or people who like brand new cars that have 3200 semiconductor chips in them or cars that can back themselves up autonomously
this is for a different type of person. For someone who likes things to work reliably every single day and doesn’t need to go to someone else with a computer to fix every problem.. this item offers no computer interface.
