Let’s put it this way:
For the average DIY’er trying to assemble an engine generator set out of
disparate parts it is often an exercise in futility. You are not the average
DIY’er.
Adding the additional mass into the system is ideal. While it does take longer

A mercedes OM will run 3600 RPM (2-pole) just fine. But yes, 4-pole
(1800) or 6-pole (1200) generators are the 'real deal'.

And like most industrial diesels, the Cat engine he has is limited to a maximum
rpm of 3400, I believe. At 3600 rpm it would be coming apart.
There are so, so many reasons NOT to run a generator at 3600 rpm (two pole)
compared to 1800 rpm or a lower speed with a two bearing alternator:

But I could go with a 2-pole alternator (3600) if it
I didn’t look that closely. His only options are a 4 pole (1800 rpm)
alternator if he’s going with a flywheel mounted single bearing generator.

That's what I thought.

He’s running a diesel, so a two pole (3600 rpm) isn’t an option.
Manufactured sets, such as the Onan, won’t typically have an SAE standardized
flywheel housing and drive disc.
Best approach is to buy a new, 1800 rpm alternator with the appropriate SAE
flywheel housing and drive disc. Either

A rule of thumb is to divide the engine HP by 1.5 to get the generator kW. At
1800 RPM you would be good for about 9kW based on the 14 bhp rating on the spec
sheet I looked at.
Looks like a 10kW Marathon “MagnaPlus” would do the trick:

Thank you. It is, in fact, more than just an engine. It has complete

That's a nice little engine that you have. Wouldn't mind doing
