I was planning on using a simple Audiovox cruise control system. Run the engine until you get 60 cycles per minute and then set the cruise. When the load changes (increases) the cruise will still keep the RPM constant to power the generator.

Yes I agree there might be other engines more suited to this but hey, I have a ragged out 240D that was just given to me. Besides.....we are all car guys or tinkerers....are'nt we?? I would be so cool to have a Mercedes diesel generator!!

The Generator heads can be purchased online ebay. Just type in generator head.
