1940's 6.5kw Kohler Electric Plant

6500w of pure power this beast produces! it runs good and smooth with literly next to no vibration. it will not make a lightbulb flicker like a single cyl generator tends to do.
it puts out 110/220 V ac. 60cycles. The engine is an inline 4cyl which produces somewhere around 20hp. it is equipt with shutdown sensors that will shut it down if it loses oil pressure or the water temp gets to high. It has an oil bath air cleaner and full pressure lubrication with spin on oil filter. it has a fuel pump that runs off the camshaft i belive. it can be primed by pumping the priming lever under the pump.

Are these worth anything? I just got one just like this but excellent shape w spare parts sitting for 30 yrs and ran off natural gas. I seem to have no spark when cranking by hand. Maybe need a battery? Wonder where you list them?

@mobilemowers not sure what they are worth. i wouldent expect a fortune for it anyways. try smokestak engine forums generator page. someone there might be interested. the natural gas ones last forever because they dont get the nasty sludge a gasoline burner gets

[1944johndeerel]

@JHx86 yep it does sound very much like like an old tractor engine

I have one very similar to this.Runs on gas,propane and ng.But this is made in early 60s not 40s.But still a nice old gen.
