Mark and Ade:
Thanks for the help in the ID of this engine. I mis-typed the price, it is a bit less! not 2200, but 1200! I did not notice that at first. I was told that it has a variable throttle; does that mean I can run it at a lower rpm ie 1800? I want to have something I can run to power the battery bank and credit my meter (net metering). I live in a cold area so the air cooled shouldn't be an issue and I am going to build an underground (dugout) to house this generator. Fuel consumption is an issue, but I will be running WMO (filtered and ran through a centrifuge-good enough for the 12v cummins in my truck!) so I am not paying retail for my fuel supply. If I can stay around 3-4K and stay under 5 gallons of diesel per every 24 hrs, it pencils out real well for us.
