A friend of mine has a 1971 army generator with a 2cyl diesel. On the metal tag it has DE. do you think this may be a Ducattie diesel ? like in the older Bolens. I'll see if I can get a picture from him. Hes asking 225.00

During that same time frame there were other manufacturers of air-cooled diesel twins. I will be watching for the pics; little diesels are kind of neat.

Anyone familiar with this genny , was wondering if a Duccattie air cooled. Tony sent me these pics.

I dont think its a diesel ....
Looks like a standard... Gas...

 

[gravely-power]

Definitely gas. It would be nice to have a pix of the engine plate.

 

[mikeemc]

Runs on gas, we thought it was deisel. Engine plate says Wisconsin, will try to get engine plate pics. engine numbers st- fsm2805-0724871, sn-n-067718 ,mm 2a016III , manual tm5-2805-208 manufacture date 12-68 da-23-195-amc-00808(t) 16cu.in displacement 2cyl .

If it was a diesel running on gas, it would idle at 4000rpm! lol

Continental 2A016 maybe.Try Saturn Surplus. http://www.saturnsurplus.com/2a016.htm

 

[mikeemc]

Thanks for the web site. So this one is only 3hp , I would have thought is was more than that. I guess for $250 3hp is about par.

Those continentals are scaled way back. I think you can make some adjustments and get something like 18hp out of them.

 

[mikeemc]

I'm not sure about makeing them more Hp. the stroke is short 6-1 compression , but the swing on the crank is long duration for torq . It would be intresting to get more out of it.

You're welcome.The other guys are correct.The low compression makes it possible to run crappy fuels in other countries.That long stroke makes for some low rpm grunt.I don't think the max rpm is very high either.3200 maybe.I can't remember.
