Thats freaking awesome redneck technology love it dude

I have a 186FA clone engine in my generator. It was running this year for long periods of time ~10h a day or sometimes even more. Its very loud but there is no smoke while the engine is running. Your smoke is fuel related (at least mine was, i get premium diesel and it does not smoke at all and can start on cold mornings). Its ok for the price

Love the ozzy inthe background

i was amazed on how you start the yanmar using drilling machine. can you please upload video on how to start diesel machine with drilling machine. thanks

The smoke and knock has nowt to do with it being a China clone its because of the shit quality diesel fuel in the USA. Thats why these engines are banded in the US. They run sweet and clean in the UK and the EU they are just loud. You can advance and retard the timing by removing or adding shims on the injector pump.

tacosteelersman-I have the exact same generator in my barn. Model:3GGS.S1. Im working to try and get it running. IDK if the set is any good. The engine had issues when I first started on it. The voltmeter is missing as it was broken when I first started on it. I have some snaps I can share if you desire...

It’ll probably still run for another 20 or 30 years

Tractor is cool. Buy a tripod.

HA it sat on side "SILENT DIESEL GENERATOR". its too loud even on u tube

Stp creep in the background, will you use the starter generator on this from the Kohler?

taco steeling, oh good one. very nice vid. very nice repower. Wendell has nothing on you, except his are older and prettier, and BIGGER.

I have a l100 and it won’t start at all

Lookslike a ih cub cadet 72

I have one of those, it's actually a 7 horse. Yanmar L70 AE

Yanmar makes fine diesel engines, this is one of them. I wondered about the starting method and that belt, lot's of potential there for a good slap on the bare arms etc. On that subject of the line in your teeth drooping across the flywheel/pulley/drill and belt,...oh well, you can figure out the rest!!!

nice job and runner.

Do the easy stuff first. Check engine oil, air filter, and make sure it has fuel. Confirm fuel shut off is in the on positionLoosen the fuel line at the injector and hold down the compression release leverTurn engine over till fuel is leaking out of the loose connection. Tighten connection and start it up.

your Chinese one is exactly the same as my one,mine run good every day until I stoped using it back in October now it won't start at all,but I did get it going with easy start once,run it for an hour stopped let it cool and tried to start it again but nothing...just keeps cranking but not firing up..anyone got any ideas why it won't start ?

I'm guessing you mean fuel oil, it sipps fuel, I can not give you an accurate guess on the usage. I can say it is very little. It does not use any engine oil at all.

I have not done any mods on the cub since the vid, it is just a yard dog and a toy for my kids.

This is very nice. What did you end up doing for a hood? Do you have any recent videos of it?

It is a 3600 RPM engine

Yes it still has the original engine. It has not been ran in a long time, it is hibernating in my barn.

It is a fun engine to run, even more fun to start. No accidents or injury from starting my Yanmar yet. Yeah you boys in the south know how to get it done, no doubt. Thanks for the comments

The Yanmar is rubber mounted, a solid piece of rubber that is the same size as the bottom of the engine

I have access to many of these engines. Used to be on generators. Some need TLC.

Once that wheel started spinning after ignition, that loose belt posed SERIOUS safety problems, and it was connected to you through that drill and pulley. Not to mention there was some kind of loose twine or something also in the picture. This is Darwin Award winning stuff here!

Are u going to keep the original engine in this one

Lol. I love it. Nice engine and better starting procedure....

looks like it needs rings

that is a great tractor if you rubber mount that engine it may help you

The 15 year old Yanmar will be running in another 15 years when that Chinese Junk long dead. I am not rich enough to buy cheap generators.

Yanmar rocks.

That sucker is a monster! What's the rpms when u revved it? Sweet motors .

The Yanmar is far superior, the clone leaks oil but still runs good. I have 0 complaints about the Yanmar it runs great and is great. Of course it is mounted on my cub cadet original so it gets run time.

Yes the drive pully is custom built to what I wanted. All steel construction, and just a bit smaller than stock.

I'd love to know more about the drive hub. Custom I assume? I am looking to do the same with an original I just got ahold of.

Put some Lucas Oil I'm that bad boy.

courageous start.. with your teeth. simple and innovative.. I am building a diesel bike will the same engine

I had to get a different length belt and drill the frame to accommodate the twin and rig a few things together like the fuel tank and key switch. Really it was a preaty easy conversion.

I had to adjust the throdle springs to allow it to idle down where I wanted it to run but it is running great. I am from western NY.

I'm not sure how hard it is on the transmission and I'm not worried about it. So far I have had no problems at all. An old starter generator might have enough power to turn it over. I will have to try that when I find some time to tinker with it. Thanks for the comments.

Since the motors running so much faster than the transmission is that hard on the transmission. I have a Cub Cadet 104 that I am looking to put a 10 horsepower diesel on.

the diesels are great, had mine 2 years no problems better than the 16 horse briggs i ran and uses so much less fuel too

Awesome job!

Hi wondering now that a year has passed how your Yanmar L90 compares to the china diesel......would love to know.

I love old generators, i reccomend you go to smokstak forums and go to the generator page for help on this

So what did you end up doing with the yanmar?Yours was quiet,most air cooled diesels i see like that sound like the world is coming to an end when fired up.

Great little engines those. It's a pitty though that they don't run too well at low RPMs. I have one on a concrete mixer and its minimum idle is about 2000rpm. Your runs very well, perhaps the inertia of the extra pulley allows this to run so low. You should definitely enter this in a diesel "how low can you go" competition. Your accent is cool. Where are you from? Canada?

You need to rig up the original starter generator on there to start it
