just a few words on the 3 hp mini petter/ hotater is correct on the alignment of the governor arm/ it has to be correct and not binding/ I have 3 petters and the difference in them is amazing. I have 2 of the 3 hp and 1 of the 5 hp/one 3 hp and the 5 hp are made by one co. and work flawless but the other 3 hp petter is made by another co.and is almost a danger to be around/ I would never run it around people or with the air cleaner on. the first time one of these run away.. you know what fear is. you can not stop a diesel buy turning the switch off.that is the reason i run it with the air cleaner off and a rag to stuff in the air intake.. everything on it either leaks or falls off/ the fuel line are a joke/ that braided surface only hides the problems/grind those things off and get a new hose for it/ the other 2 petters are made by g.g. gear of bombay and are a pleasure too run/ nothing leaks or falls off and start the first time and will run all day/but I will keep the other one for spare parts.I could never sell something that dangerious to some one/ also I have an 8 hp lister also by gg gear/believe it or not I have it mounted on a 5by 10 trailer and I am able to run it and with out too much bounce. after it gets warm, it will purr all day ,the only work it does is pull a corn mill at times/..but it is a pleasue to run/I have had it 6 years and have done very little to it..just the usual bad fuel tank/but it was easy to correct//. I guss it would be a lot different it I had to depend on it 18 hours a day for power. now I only use mine for fun.. still love to hear them run.
