Very cool setup. Where might I find one of those air starters? I've never seen something like that before..

love your genset and videos, so educational!
seen these engines (Anands i think) used to power homemade trucks in India (called jugaad, or jugadh), and also seen similar ones on giricos in Brazil, and these listers do a good job of being power units for road vehicles too!
only i don't know if they're 6hp ones, or stronger.

This is a GAST 4am motor. you can find them on ebay and other places. I bought this one used at a surplus center for 25 dollars.

I always thought that radiators required airflow over them to cool efficiently?
Does this reach an operating temperature and stay constant or keep increasing temp and eventually requiring a shutdown after continuous use?

There is an 120vac electric fan mounted on the top side of the radiator using a thermocouple on the water outlet to start and stop the fan. The thermostat in the engine is a 195 degree F stat. Remember this engine is only 6hp and the radiator is a very large aluminum radiator designed for a 500hp racing engine. With the radiator at that angle there is a fair amount of air being sucked through via convection even with the fan off. Fan only runs is outside temp is over 85 degrees F.

What do you do if you can't run the air compressor because you have a power cut?
Very very nice engine, by the way, runs as sweet as a nut.

@sdavies45
My compressor/air system consists of a 100gallon tank that is always full. If the pressure in the tank drops under 90 psi the compressor automatically comes on and refills the tank. If the power goes out i know i have at least 90 psi in the tank and that can start the engine many times.
