Electric Start Conversion KIT L100 for YANMAR L100 10HP 186F for Diesel Engines Starter Motor

[@Mikebuildss]

Nice! That looks correct found one link for around 200 for the kit including charging coil

[@goofypettiger]

I love these small diesels. I have two of the 418cc. You will need starter and ring gear. The flywheel it comes with doesn't have a ring gear. Use a 27mm socket and impact wrench to get the flywheel off. Then a 3-jaw gear puller. The flywheel has three holes in it to pull it off the shaft. The ring gear is about 10.5" diameter. Heat it with a propane torch and it'll drop right on. The starter is easy to mount. Connect your battery+ to the big threaded stud on the solenoid. Then with a screwdriver I touch that stud to the only other electrical connector on the solenoid and it will spin up. Note! You still need to press down the decomp lever, even with a starter! There is an ungodly amount of compression to fight against. What I like to do is let the starter turn the engine over 5 or 6 times, to get up to speed, then let go of the decomp so that on the 7th revolution, it resets the decomp, the exhaust valve closes and all that rotational kinetic energy slams the air into submission :) I just ordered another ring gear and starter myself. Ring gear is $38 and starter is $94. I have one of these engines mounted on a rolling cart with a Harbor Freight 10KW generator head. Both have 1" shaft. Using dual sheave "B"-section pulleys. Using a little bit bigger diameter pulley on the engine than the generator head, so that the engine will run at 3000RPM and the generator at 3600RPM. As you've probably already noticed, increasing the engine RPM suddenly not only rolls coal but it will sound like it has a rod knock. It's normal. It's the sound of combustion you're hearing. At that moment, there's more fuel than there's available oxygen (hence the "coal") and it makes a distinct hammering sound. These diesel engines are awesome. I run mine off of 3 parts "black diesel" (centrifuged filtered motor oil) and 1 part real diesel. Runs perfectly off of it. I was afraid it would smoke like hell but no difference as compared to real diesel. Have Fun!

[@Mikebuildss]

Ok that’s awesome! This is what I like to hear thanks for the comment!

[@jontscott]

Have you by any chance captured any fuel efficiency data when running your generator? I saw somewhere these things are rated at about 6kw, not sure if that is the fuel input energy or if it can output a max of 6kw into a generator? I have long thought about trying to make a diesel generator, curious how well it actually works and how efficient it is.

[@adoreslaurel]

You obviously need a really flat surface and act speedily to drop the the ring gear onto avoid a misaligned contraction with a fast cool down? I would imagine.

[@goofypettiger]

@@jontscott I just assume half a pound of fuel per horsepower hour as the brake specific fuel consumption. So that's 13.4 horsepower for 1 hour or 6.7 horsepower for 2 hours, etc. 6 kilowatts is what, 8 horsepower? it can produce that all day long.

[@goofypettiger]

@@adoreslaurel yeah, you have about 30 seconds to get the job done. Then just look at it real closely and if there's any kind of gap, I just put it under the hydraulic press. Or if your eyesight is like mine, use a feeler gauge. The flywheel does have a lip that the ring gear butts up against so you would use the feeler gauge between the ring gear and that lip. Hope this helps

[@sodiumvapor13]

That's a sweet engine! 418cc would make a beast of a generator. At 3600rpm it'd be perfect for a 60Hz direct-drive stator!

[@brianbillings1340]

I have done lots of electronic starters on these. You will need a starter, ring gear and I also recommend to install the stator coil kit with the regulator. The coil and reg will charge the battery. Most don't come with the parts for electric start. Flywheel is bolted with a keyway.

[@TACOMASRT5]

How much power does the stator put out?

[@brianbillings1340]

@@TACOMASRT5 It is 12volts to charge the starter battery. The fuse is a 15 amp so I would assume around 7 to 10 amps. I never did an amp draw on it but I can say it is definitely less then 15 amp. If you are buying get the kit but the kits I bought didn't come with the bolts so you will need to go to the hardware store and get some metric bolts. Also I highly recommend using lots of locktite on the flat button bolts as these vibrate loose and will damage the new stator.

[@daleferber2096]

I think that I (and many others) would rather just pay the extra 300 or so bucks and get one with the starter already installed

[@patwregan]

part numbers for pieces needed to electric start?

[@brianbillings1340]

@@patwregan ebay is where I get my parts from. The most critical things are the ring gear size and the rotation direction of your motor. I believe the 170F to 192F use the same starter and same alternator. Ring gears 170F to 173F uses a 200mm×15mmW×5.5mmH. The 178F uses 222mmx15mmWx5.5mmH. The 186Fto192F uses 245mmx 18mmWx10mmH.

Push decompresser, pull a couple of turns make sure you hear injection sound, release decompresser you're done with this now. . Pull cord slowly until you feel compression, nudge it just over compression, dont go too far, just until resistance eases. Return cord for a full pull, pull fast it will start everytime,

[@vtron8580]

Honestly I believe the decompresser is used more like a choke than an assist for starting since it’s diesel, it relies on compression ignition

​​@@vtron8580 You set it to compression, push the decompressor down and it'll automatically flick up for the next compression stroke so that you have compression but only once the engine has momentum from pulling. It's so simple. If electric starting, you *shouldn't* need to decompress but sometimes the starters are a bit weaker.

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]

@@Bob-xc2us good to hear it’s somewhat reliable, I like the diesel generator idea they are way more efficient, and can run alternative fuels if you really needed to

[@Bob-xc2us]

@@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.

Ive thought about one of those. I have a buch of used veg oil, from local fairgrounds and would probably quiet it down some running on it. Best way of running veg oil is a heated 2 tank setup so when you shut it down or start up, its on pure diesel. . Normally on a road engine i use the coolant to heat it up, so without coolant you would need to get a little creative. Id figure 20 gal would run that thing for quite a long time.

Maybe a small tractor or bulldozer where heavy torque is required that would stall out a gas motor may be where this heavy 10HP diesel could really shine and surpass gas engines.

When you learn to read.. There is a position marked on the sector that the throttle screw adjuster rides on that is marked "Start".

Also use this setting when you pull the engine over with the decompressor engaged to bleed the fuel system until ALL the air bubbles come out and only liquid fuel squirts out... a lot more liquid "waste" than the little piddle you let out before you tightened the union again....

Huge misconception and even Cummins has had this problem with their 6.7 15/40 is not a universal diesel engine oil. I run 10w40 in my 1.4 gas engine. Here’s the thing. The heavier the oil the harder it is for the engine to pump and get it into small and tight tolerances. At the rpm speed these spin and how small the components are, I have no idea but I would assume dropping to 10w40 or even 5w 40 would be a better oil for this application.

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

Start a diesel manualy looks brutal

[@Mikebuildss]

It is!

[@smedleypdolittle]

I bought one, was dropped in shipping, cracked the crankcase beyond repair. Did get a refund!

[@Mikebuildss]

Sorry to hear! At least you got your money back

[@JoshKilen]

nice engine, nice runner, I got two of the electric start version. I know a link that can help with a pull starting. I have the manuals for both these style and the yanmar service manual if you would like them.

[@Mikebuildss]

Very interested!

[@BrettWilliams-n1c]

That’s cool bro, i would repace the other engine with the new one for a generator. But all up to you, love your work ❤👍🍻

[@evlen-td2sy]

exauhst and fuel tank gotta change and maybe a turbo

[@Mikebuildss]

Agreed that would be awesome let’s see what I can come up with

[@Room1sixtyfive]

Remove the yoyo (pull start) and start it with a drill.

[@DWinnie67]

you will not start any of these, with a drill. you cant hold onto the drill hard enough!

[@Room1sixtyfive]

@@DWinnie67 That's what you think, I made a small engine starter with a one way bearing and a right angle drill. I can start any small engine with it, unless you say that I can't... We'll go with that.

[@walterarredondo3516]

Well, it seems to be that unknowingly you scare away quite a few costumers with piece of junk! 😂😂😂😂

[@Mikebuildss]

This thing is awesome! I’m not giving up on it until it blows up

[@philliphall5198]

Yes mount it first and set to ideal

[@_vilepenguin]

Maybe you can find a medium duty nat gas, gas, or propane genset with a blown engine on market place or craiglist with a blown engine. Not sure of the RPM of that thing but 15 KW or something be cool. The extra toque of the diesel might make up for the small size. Likely wishful thinking but might work.

[@jstaffordii]

motor is only rated 6.3 kw according to the data plate

[@giles-df9yu]

You had the fuel throttle way to open. To start it

[@dwightwilson1764]

What do you think about starting this with a large impact wrench?

[@philliphall5198]

Not a impack, never use that only with a drill , 😊

[@happycamper5900]

It will be just fine..... until it starts.

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

Over running clutch can be bought to fit to a drill for starting small engines... but you need a nut on the end of the crankshaft of the engine...with a socket to fit it on the end of the clutch. You would still need to use the decompressor on the engine and hold it down to spin the flywheel up to a higher speed.....three hands would be good Might as well have ordered an engine with a starter and charging circuit built in from new... @@happycamper5900

[@casemodder89]

you cant impact on a crankshaft without breaking something. what do people have in their brains these days ?

[@centauri9458]

If youve ever heard or seen a cycle car that is kind of what i would like to see. During war time in the 40s people used model Ts to build tractors called Doodlebugs that would be cool or maybe a Model T style truck cyclecar.

[@bobbyk6761]

mount a pressure washer pump up to it, would be quick and easy.

[@bottomfeeder12]

On a snowblower would be cool.

[@Toobluejzs147]

U should make this a mud motor for a boat

[@Mikebuildss]

There’s no mud around here

[@Toobluejzs147]

@@Mikebuildss well i don’t use the mud lol thats just what it’s called like a longtail boat motor

[@Mikebuildss]

@@Toobluejzs147 ahh I figured that’s what you meant, I think It would work well, could probably turn a very aggressive prop with all the torque it has.

[@comfort_in_discomfort]

I see a turbo in your future :)

[@vuelor9050]

Youave to mount to plate form some where to make easy starting.
