    Thoughts on the 2A016 engine?

    Wrap and hope starter! I have one 1A08 engine which took 8-10 pulls to start on average. I swapped the fuel pump to the model with the priming arm and that made a huge difference. Now I prime it manually first, then tug. It starts on either the first or second pull. I agree a recoil starter...

    Handtruck air compressor, what replaced the Yanmar diesel model?

    Hey all, quick question thought someone might know. I have been collecting the handtruck air compressors. Basically going back to 1965 with the 1A08 engine. Plus the newer model with the Robin engine. And of course the diesel model with the Yanmar L40. I really like the diesel model, great...

    Thoughts on the 2A016 engine?

    Any 2A016 engine users here? I just picked up my first one. Came with a 1,500 watt 28 VDC gen set. I checked it over, poured some gas in and it fired right up and purred! Seems like a good little engine. Looking for any feedback anyone might have on them. Thanks!

    Source for 1A08 parts?

    I have a 250,000 BTU heater which has one as well......They are pretty neat little engines which seem pretty overbuilt. Thanks for your reply I've been collecting air compressors and gen sets and thinking about maybe doing a book or resource on them.....

    Source for 1A08 parts?

    Hi, I'm looking for a source for some 1A08 parts, preferably NOS. Stuff that Satern Surplus no longer has, even though they might still list it.......specifically spark plug wires and maybe carbs and some other small parts. I have maybe a half dozen of these engines, mostly on air compressors...

    CUCV Electric? What is up with them?

    No......unfortunately I was not aware they had closed their operation down without notifying me or refunding my money. They never answered my email. I was hoping this was not the case.....perhaps if you hadn't closed all the threads I would have had a chance to read about what was going on. thanks
