Not suited to my needs. I did like the chute control on the 20" Toro. It looks better than my bodge on the 24" Ariens I put a Predator 212cc on 
Chinese 196cc diesel engine from Amazon?

That's a very nice little engine and the price is right.
For years I went to the auto tech program at Skyline college in San Bruno California. GM donated an off road only Buick GNX and we tried stuff on it [to learn and diagnose ] it was driven on campus to test out what we learned
That is very unfortunate and IMO, narrow minded.
The fun is what made the education and knowledge gained enduring.

Yes, I would buy one if I had more space
I know the larger diesel generators run at 1800 RPM, but I have never seen a smaller one. Could get an angle gearbox and repower my lawnmower
I think it would be good for a old style garden tiller or a pump.
as a Canadian i am pissed off that we cant order there up here. i desperately want 1 or 2 of them
Best part of this thread is that I don't feel like such a nerd for wanting one of these when I have absolutely no practical need for one!

You would need to leave it running all winter long in Saskatchewan, otherwise it wouldn't start again till spring.
Found it one AliExpress
Tiller log splitter or snow thrower. Could probably run a 10w30
Pretty efficient but highly polluting e-bike?
Same, longtime tech industry, love turning wrenches.
I've got a 68 JD3020 Diesel tractor, mechanical injection and no glow plugs. It WILL NOT fire off below 50 degrees. Most old farmers would hit them with either for the first start of the day, I hate that concept so I bought an aftermarket 1500W heater that is plumbed into the coolant system and warms up all of the water and the oil cooler too.
They sell the electric heat pads for RV tanks, might be able to adapt one to this motor and plug it in for a bit before you.
i already own a larger version hatz 1d50 d series diesel on a generator and it pull starts just fine at minus 30c, 3 pulls and its running. that's a common misconception by people who dont know.
