The way cars and cameras handle the starting of that engine without a electrical start they used to go kart bump box another thing you can use is a powerful drill just take the recoil starter off and just put the socket on the end of the nut and start at that way it's a lot easier and if you want electrical starter it's probably gonna cost you about $275 Because of shipping and handling

Unfortunately, the inverter puts out a fait amount of heat. I love it in the winter, but not so much in the summer. If you are trying to cool the space, maybe run inverter or at least exhaust fan to the outdoors. Mine can easily raise the room temp by several degrees.

I bought a 418cc 10hp DEK version of that engine with electric start about 10 years ago and put it on a Roper tractor similar to a Sears Custom. Lots of power but very noisy. I also have an enclosed 6500w generator with another version of that same engine. Has about 100 hours on it and so far no major problems. Ran it 12 hours a day for three days during a power outage and it is twice as good on fuel as my neighbours gas generator. It will run all day on around 2 gallons of fuel powering normal loads in the house. It will run my AC unit but sometimes trips the generator breaker when the unit starts up so I don't run the AC.

@@Mikebuildss the one thing that often fails on these engines is the camshaft end bearing. The roller bearing runs directly on the camshaft and some Chinese manufactures don't harden that part of the camshaft like Yanmar does so it wears down and fails. If it does this you will see metal filings in the oil filter screen. Other than that they are pretty reliable.

I just bought 8 of these for my victron RV build. Eco-Worthy is a reputable company that hasn't been selling batteries very long. There building there units very well compared to most of these fly by night offerings that fail out of the box. I was looking for max discharge times because they don't list it. Not a bad video. I believe i saw a test video that showed they'll actually rate at 305ah but that totally depends on how you charge it.
