I appreciate the feedback from this forum. I wouldn't be driving a 23 year old diesel Benz if it weren't for this forum.

I bought two of those Yanmar clone single cylinder diesel gensets. They were JUNK! The one, I had hooked to the house and it ran about 45 minutes when it let go with a BANG. The balance shaft broke and went through the side of the engine. All of the wire connectors were cheap and thin. ALL of the push-on electrical connectoor were made from super thin brass and wouldn't hold the terminals good. These units were NEW. I personally like the ONAN inline aircooled 2 and 4 cylinder sets. The 2 cyl units are uaually 5-7kw in gas,diesel or vapor gasses. The 4 cyl are 10-15kw same fueling variety.
