That's the engine I was asking about in the PETTEROID catagory.
The price about took my breath away! ALthough it might be about right for 45Hp plus 25Kw gen head.
I was thinking that this 3 cyl would not provide the flickering light we have become acustomed to.
Yet it might satisfy the DIY'r who wants to have the simplest possible engine and take it apart every now and then.
Is there a West Coast importer? It seems a waste to ship it from India to Maine to Seattle....

FYI
I forgot to mention that I added the 2500uF cap across my field (no resistor) and No Flicker. It boosted my output by about 8V and eliminated the flicker.
I'll post this in the cap thread as well when time permits...

HI
I'm suppose to be packing for anniversary holiday--not posting. Two quick things:
The oiler tubing for the valve rockers
The pulley ratios just as SHIPCHIEF postulated to get up 1800 gen shaft RPM
Sure like to see the injector pump. Bet it's an inline block directly driven by three individual cam lobes. Be the simplest way. Yes, I know my spelling sucks.

Use it up. Wear it out. Make Do, or Do Without.
