Re: [MBZ] Diesel Generator

The one I had was purely mechanical injection, Shutdown was a manual lever
that was mounted on the injection pump.
It had an electric starter AND a pull starter, it also had a compression
release so you could pull it through with the pull starter. Very primitive
design... third world stuff. nothing fancy..

The no start , no run issue was, I believe, due to failure of the injection
pump in some way. I could get light off using "death in a spray can" but it
would not sustain running, which told me no fuel at injector.
I wrote it off and gave it away... it sucked several hours of my life and
gave nothing back.. I moved on.

I was thinking it'd be worth it just to get the engine. I've got a Cub Cadet 
that could use an engine transplant.

But, the engine is probably purely mechanical, with an electric kill mechanism.
Probably well worth getting it to mess with, if you like that sort of challenge.
I have something similar, in a quiet cabinet, the engine works great.  The
genny is bad, bad, bad.

But, the engine is probably purely mechanical, with an electric kill mechanism.
Probably well worth getting it to mess with, if you like that sort of challenge.
I have something similar, in a quiet cabinet, the engine works great.  The
genny is bad, bad, bad.

Yes, pure Chineeeseum junk.

I had one given to me with the same issues. I have it to someone else..
neither of us could get it to run for more than a start and die... It had a
total of 320 hrs of run time, when no start/ no run arrived.

Unless you truly need an awkward boat anchor, avoid the urge to own it.
