Title: Witte eBay Alert - 12 HP of Mid Century American Industry
Post by: LowGear on October 09, 2017, 09:16:38 PM
Holy Moly.  The big one with electric start.  This engine will not accept crude oil as a fuel - it's right there in the users manual.  OK, It's a bit rough and the generator has been swiped.  That radiator is actual a condenser.  The hole in the block is part of the cooling system that goes up to the condenser.  As is this puppy probably weighs in at a ton.  My understanding is that this unit will deliver a real 6 KW 24/7.  Oh yeah, there's a giant oil sump in the cast iron base and has a pressure oil system with a factory filter.

Good Luck

That must be some sort of moose to crank.

What do you power with it?
