Mike,
I have a concern about noise from a generator. I live in a rural area
closest neighbor is about .3 mi away. I live here because I like
peace
and quiet. I sometimes sit in the garden and listen

Dont forget to mount the motor on vibration damper. Also consider
cooling flow and combustion air. Sound studios use
labyrinths/baffles on air conditioning

In Alaska we had a 2 cylinder 4Kw Lister. The absolute
nosiest generator in creation.
But it did run for 20 years

Hello all,
I'm interested ingetting
adiesel generator. A friend has offered me a VW Rabbit diesel engine
(48HP) and says it would be great to power a generator. It seems a bit overkill.
I was looking at 4 - 6 HP.
Guidance here would be
appreciated.
Tom
maybe rig up 2 or 3 generators to it? use a
heavy motorcycle chain maybe?

Take the motor anyway! Is it any good? It'll fit a lot cars.

run Deutz units which are horrible for prices on parts.
