Back in 2005 I was lucky/smart enough to grab a Vithata Listeroid 6/1 before the EPA........as usual........ruined a good thing for everyone. At that time I also thought about getting one of the mini Petters, not because of any practical reason but just because I thought they were a"cute" little diesel. Unfortunately life got in the way so it never happened. Now I'm getting the urge again, but I know very little about the current situation.
First of all, is it still possible to obtain one either already stateside or in "kit form" somehow?
Did these Petter knock offs have many of the same quality issues as the 6/1's? Worse? I've seen some pretty discouraging remarks about them.
Would I be better off searching out an original Petter PAZ1? Since the only real "source" is England that could get expensive quickly just for a "cute" diesel!
