Anybody ever seen, heard of or hand anything to do with these flat V twin vertical shaft diesels? They appear to have been built for lawn mower applications. Beat to death lawn mowers are cheap to purchase.
We were kicking the idea around of instead of using a Chanfa Chinese V-twin diesel clone. To take the vertical Yanmar, dry sump the crankcase and stand it up properly. Then bolt it to the clutch/transmission of a V-twin clone of a Harley bike.
Plan B is apparently Yanmar does or used to build a vertical diesel three cylinder outboard motor up to 36HP. Anybody ever seen or heard tell of these engines?
