Dieselman, im not trying to be malicious in any shape or fourm and your area of expertise and way of living is not under scrutiny by me or any one else, there was no mention of it in any of my postings, i have no doubts in your area of experties you know your stuff and it was what i was counting on, i stated my intentions and plans with the hopes of catching someones attention who was in the same situation as me, looking for a quality built used high speed Lister or Petter cone diesel engine that is avalible for purchasing on the east coast of the USA and parts avalibility for these types of engines, i have spent the past 5 years quietly looking and asking only to watch dealers such as yourself blocked by the federal gov. and the EPA and these options dry up and replaced with chines clones so im no longer looking, more or less im interested in options for the gen head itself and is not interested in the off brand china cone gen heads being offered but is willing to build one following plans by experts in this field of expertise and be able to purchase off the shelf parts if avalible in my area, thing are very limited regarding quality in this state and quality built equipment is at a astronomical price these days with no options of being able to purchase just the engine and gen head itself and fabricate the frame and needed conponets in-house and i would prefer to customize my gen set to fit my spicific spec. and needs, a very small compact single cylinder air cooled mini diesel gen set much like the examples i posted above in the 1.5 Kw range i can mount in the back of a small pick up truck, preferably into a existing truck mounted tool box for running power tools and charging batterys at non electrified job sites, farm fields, and deep in the woods of western and norther Masssachusetts for firewood and timber cutting and i want to have the option to convert if feasible a diesel engine to use other cleaner burning fuels with out having to use the weak ethanol laced gases, bio-diesel and converted veggie/wast oil fuel is being made no more the 6 miles from were i live but i do not own a single engine that can burn it.
Im currently looking at military surplus 3 KW diesel gensets but at 750 lb and 3Kw of power it is too much for what im looking for and would be better off with the Onan MEP002a 5kw gen set, also looking for Onan single cylinder diesel engines but all are at if not over 6 hp, anything lower the 3Kw is gas powered 3600 rpm screamers with a very short working life spand only used for intermediate uses, i know quality when i see it and see that 2.5/3.5 hp diesel engines are being MFG'ed following the old time tested petter/lister design but know nothing about them or how and were to get one at a resonable used price, im not rich or able to throw around thousands of dollers all at once like some guys are able to and post a onging projet on the internet, it takes many mounths of saving hard earned money so a project such as this has to be carefully planed or i will loose a lot of money and time, with the economy in it's current state with no hard evidence of it ever improving any time soon this is what we have to deal with as a whole, as of now i am still looking, watching and saving,
Is this clear and to the point or is more needed ?
AGAIN, i will say, it is not a personal attack on anybody in any way, shape or form, im just asking for help from experts and others who was in my boots at one time or another and is willing to send me in the right direction or to the right people.
Thank you for reading this long winded post,
Jesse
