My Metro 6/1 with 7.5 ST head, frame, radiator with t controlled fan, temp gauge, custom fuel tank.
It has about 50 hours on it. It starts and runs perfect. Some of the paint has chipped off the engine but still looks good.  This one did not get torn down but did get a complete inspection before running.

Asking $2800.00 or OBO

I will have other listings in the next few days so look for them.

I am in Florida. I will not ship but will load. I  am selling my big tractor so I will only be able to load in the next few weeks.  If you want to ship all arrangements must be made on your end.

Here we go !
I am on the east coast of Florida.
Looked like is was going to stay west of us until yesterday. Now it has moved
east and looks like it will be just north of me. I'm near Melbourne.
Got my Coleman stuff ready. I started collecting years ago so I'm well stocked
with lanterns, stoves and fuel !
Got my generators staged and ready. I have 4 diesel gen sets, so good there.

I know members just south of me.

Stay safe and take cover !

So back on this for a moment....

Radiator,  fan , pump and plumbing installed.
The wiring and plumbing are temporarily during testing.

I have not installed thermostat's at this point and am running the pump and fan while running.
On a 90 F day the water discharge from the heads are running about 180 F in shade with about
a 5 F rise in direct sunlight. This is with a 4K load......

I ordered a larger water pump as the "yard sale" pump I don't believe will move enough water when
the t-stats are installed. The pump now moves 1.3 gallons a min. vs the new pump will move 3.2 .
I will probibly machine the water exhaust manifold to hold a stat for each head.

I spent some time setting the rack adjusting the exhaust temps and managed to get them within 8 degrees
or so of each other. I'm happy with that.

Enjoy !

Haven't run for 2 years.
Started right up ! Only ran for a few minutes as I don't have
the cooling tank hooked up.
Will run tomorrow on an extended run with load and cooling.

These things never cease to amaze me.

Picked up this Westerbeke 4.4 with a bad gen end. The little Mitsubishi engine only has about 60 hrs on it.
After removing the marine parts, adding the alternator, frame and the Honda radiator I bought a clone 6.5 generator head, built the frame and am in the completion phase.
 
Notice the brace between the engine and gen end. The mounting frame on the head is somewhat flimsy and I chewed up a couple of spiders before I figured that problem out. After adding the brace she runs perfect.

It's a fun little project. It will pull about 4.2 kw so it is not a large set by any means but should be pretty economical to run if needed.

Enjoy,
Gary

As some of you know I have had a problem with the engine pulling a load.
Anything over about 1kw and it would just fall flat.
After playing with about a dozen springs and sending the cam to Butch for
a rebuild with new weights and a new lobe I still could not get it to work.

When I got the "new" cam installed I, of course, set the valves but not the injection
timing. Today I set the timing (it was off a few degrees) and re adjusted the valves.
I saw a slight difference in exhaust temps so I did a fine adjustment on the linkage
and got the exhaust temps nearly perfect.

Off to pull a load.....no help......

I have often had the seals on the crank at the bearing housings squeel a little. I put a drop
of oil on them and that will stop. I believe it is because I run the crankcase vent to the intake
manifold instead of the "spring valve" the engine is shipped with.

Any way.....I noticed a very slight squeel while running. Ever so slight......
When running I watch my "kill a watt" and don't check rpms......

Today during testing I installed 1 of the 2 belts I run on this machine....

I thought I should install the other belt to see if the noise would go away......
Well, well, well......the slight noise did go away......
The engine will now pull a 5kw load with about a 1.2hz drop from no load to loaded.

I know the cam change was not a mistake because when I ran it before I always ran 2 belts.

So it looks like I am getting very close. After I got the belts on I took off the 3 springs I had on the
govenor and installed just 1. It is close but not as good as with the cobbled 3 springs in place
so it will take a little more work in that area.

I had to stop today because it is starting to rain and I run it outside but I know I am getting close !

Thanks for everyone's input. I couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable bunch of guys !!

I am trying to get in touch with you.

Thanks,
Gary

OK, I have spent about 8 hours or so in the last 2 days on the beast with no success.


None of the linkages are binding, the rack is free with probibly 80% throw or better left at
730 rpm's.
The governor is free with no binding or excessive slop when I rotate the engine with
the spring off and moving the lever throughout its throw.

Warmed up , both cylinders will run within 5 degrees of each other.

I spent my time swapping springs trying to get the thing to pull 5kw.

Just won't do it.  At 730 rpm's and 1840 on the head  a 3kw load is no problem
The numbers are so close it's not worth mentioning.
BUT at 5kw load the engine is just starting to work a little the head will fall off to
52 hz from 62hz. Rpm's on the head will fall below 1600 at that point from 1840.
Don't remember the engine rpm's but you get the idea. Voltage will sag to 98 from the
120 it will normaly run.

I tried 12 or 15 different springs. Tried the original spring first. No luck.
Springs, combinations of springs, none stiffer than the original. No luck.
A few runs the springs were light enough the engine would just start to hunt a little.

I have noticed when I was setting throttle speed and no belt on the head the engine
would run with less vibration in the 800 to 850 rpm range. Maybe thats telling me
something.

The engine was rated at 25hp @ 1000 rpm's and I am running at 730 or so.

Not sure where to from here.

That little Kubota 4 cylinder engine is looking better all the time !
