If it's of Chinese origin then you may regret it after buying it?

I love these small diesels. I have two of the 418cc. You will need starter and ring gear. The flywheel it comes with doesn't have a ring gear. Use a 27mm socket and impact wrench to get the flywheel off. Then a 3-jaw gear puller. The flywheel has three holes in it to pull it off the shaft. The ring gear is about 10.5" diameter. Heat it with a propane torch and it'll drop right on. The starter is easy to mount. Connect your battery+ to the big threaded stud on the solenoid. Then with a screwdriver I touch that stud to the only other electrical connector on the solenoid and it will spin up. Note! You still need to press down the decomp lever, even with a starter! There is an ungodly amount of compression to fight against. What I like to do is let the starter turn the engine over 5 or 6 times, to get up to speed, then let go of the decomp so that on the 7th revolution, it resets the decomp, the exhaust valve closes and all that rotational kinetic energy slams the air into submission :) I just ordered another ring gear and starter myself. Ring gear is $38 and starter is $94. I have one of these engines mounted on a rolling cart with a Harbor Freight 10KW generator head. Both have 1" shaft. Using dual sheave "B"-section pulleys. Using a little bit bigger diameter pulley on the engine than the generator head, so that the engine will run at 3000RPM and the generator at 3600RPM. As you've probably already noticed, increasing the engine RPM suddenly not only rolls coal but it will sound like it has a rod knock. It's normal. It's the sound of combustion you're hearing. At that moment, there's more fuel than there's available oxygen (hence the "coal") and it makes a distinct hammering sound. These diesel engines are awesome. I run mine off of 3 parts "black diesel" (centrifuged filtered motor oil) and 1 part real diesel. Runs perfectly off of it. I was afraid it would smoke like hell but no difference as compared to real diesel. Have Fun!

Have you by any chance captured any fuel efficiency data when running your generator? I saw somewhere these things are rated at about 6kw, not sure if that is the fuel input energy or if it can output a max of 6kw into a generator? I have long thought about trying to make a diesel generator, curious how well it actually works and how efficient it is.

Or if your eyesight is like mine, use a feeler gauge. The flywheel does have a lip that the ring gear butts up against so you would use the feeler gauge between the ring gear and that lip.

I have done lots of electronic starters on these. You will need a starter, ring gear and I also recommend to install the stator coil kit with the regulator. The coil and reg will charge the battery. Most don't come with the parts for electric start. Flywheel is bolted with a keyway.

If you are buying get the kit but the kits I bought didn't come with the bolts so you will need to go to the hardware store and get some metric bolts. Also I highly recommend using lots of locktite on the flat button bolts as these vibrate loose and will damage the new stator.

We have very similar engine (probably from the same factory) we bought it it around 2017 ( Model 186FA, Power 6.6 kw @ 3600 rpm, weight 48 kg). We only done oil change ones. Oil viscosity 5W-30 synthetic. Also it came with electric starter.

Push decompresser, pull a couple of turns make sure you hear injection sound, release decompresser you're done with this now. . Pull cord slowly until you feel compression, nudge it just over compression, dont go too far, just until resistance eases. Return cord for a full pull, pull fast it will start everytime,

I have a small diesel engine my cousin installed for me on an old Troy built tiller… It’s has a lot of compression so it can be a bitch to start but once you get it pulled it normally starts and runs good! 👍

Gonna get me one as well so worth a subscription, but I'm likely getting a slightly bigger one.

Ive thought about one of those. I have a buch of used veg oil, from local fairgrounds and would probably quiet it down some running on it. Best way of running veg oil is a heated 2 tank setup so when you shut it down or start up, its on pure diesel. . Normally on a road engine i use the coolant to heat it up, so without coolant you would need to get a little creative. Id figure 20 gal would run that thing for quite a long time.

No room to fit one here. Just keep the engine warm especially in winter... and learn the correct starting procedure as per the owner's manual... or wimp out and buy all the bits to convert it to electric start.. or make good life choices and pay up front for the factory starter with charging circuit built in? When was the last time you bought a car without a starter?

as cool as having a small diesel on a go kart seemed, once i looked into it, it wasn't really worth it cause 10 hp at 3600 rpm is 14.5 foot pounds, a predator 420 makes 13 hp at 3600 rpm which is almost 19 foot pounds. then when i looked for aftermarket parts the diesel was in practice non existent. if i had the money id buy one for the niche of it but anything i want to go fast i'll have to stick to gassers

That looks just like the yanmar engines on our emergency pumps on a towboat. Starts just like one too. This would be a fine candidate for a rhb 31 turbo😁. I cant help but wonder how many ponies could be had out of this little engine and transfer that to kw to run a fairly beefy generator.

If youve ever heard or seen a cycle car that is kind of what i would like to see. During war time in the 40s people used model Ts to build tractors called Doodlebugs that would be cool or maybe a Model T style truck cyclecar.

For an application for this 10 HP diesel maybe something where it has a definite advantage over gasoline engine. I'd think the gas engine's higher power/weight ration would give it an advantage over the diesel in speed and handling for small vehicles (minibikes, go karts). Maybe a small tractor or bulldozer where heavy torque is required that would stall out a gas motor may be where this heavy 10HP diesel could really shine and surpass gas engines.
