Diesel ready (6hp) Compares to Yanmar L70 HD300D 4 - 4.4 kW diesel engine

I bought a bunch of these engines to experiment with B20+ (20% Biodiesel) home Biodiesel production (for better lubricity). Heavy Duty 6hp HD300D max 4.4kW diesel engine. 296cc putting out 4kv of continuous output. 1" shaft turning clockwise from the fly wheel end. 3.5L (.925gal) capacity. Engine dry weight is 33kg or 72lbs. The motor as seen runs smoother at the higher rpm's. It is a beast with torque and is a great motor for the DIY person. I will post other applications for this motor in the future. The "Throttle Bracket" is spring loaded so you can set up a throttle cable to a handlebar or foot pedal if you like.

@agnostos1000 well there are such things as "automatic" decompression valves, though I don't exactly know how they work, I just know they do

[agnostos1000]

@markbgreiner Oh I get it, thanks.That's why most diesels have electric starters, eh?

[markbgreiner]

@agnostos1000 it is a DEcompression lever, helps with the pull start otherwise you'd be pulling against the piston's compression. the compression is what ignites the diesel

Hi, very nice engine! Does it need a glow plug to start, and what is the compression lever for?

Thanks
