Has anyone here played with the 4.2KW DC gen sets powered by the 4A032 engine? You could plug a slave cable into it and use the DC head as a starting motor for the engine. I have one of those in the pile I need to play with......you guys are going to inspire me to get a bunch of old projects done!

OK, first let me say, thanks very much for taking the time to share this. I am looking forward to digging into it. But I just read this part to my wife: "It tested my morals. I would have sat in it like Smaug, in his castle dungeon full of gold and jewels. Almost any tool I ever needed, was in...

These are words of Wisdom to live by!! Ever been to Fort Riley?? :-)

OK so the original 1A08 engine was replaced by a Harbor Freight 6.5 hp Predator engine https://www.harborfreight.com/65-hp-212cc-ohv-horizontal-shaft-gas-engine-epa-69730.html The 1A08 is 8 cubic inches and rated by the military at 1.5 hp but most seem to think its closer to 3hp. This model...

OK here are some pics comparing the inexpensive float I purchased off Amazon for $6 with a factory float. Engine is a 1977 1A08 built by Chrysler (Mother MoPar) Carb is likely a replacement and in nice shape, the float looks nice. This is the engine that came off the air compressor I mounted...

that is a great story!

5 cfm at 175 PSI they are great lil compressors, very high quality and HD You will find different compressors mounted, single head and three head but they all are rated the same. You can of course regulate them to whatever you want. They come with a small 3 pound air tank.

Really! You have actually seen that piece displayed. Very interesting. Love going to museums in Europe. The wife lived in Germany as an Air Force brat and loves exploring. I haven't spent much time in Germany, but enjoyed the times I was there. Had to go to the Carl Zeiss/Hensoldt plant once...

OK really interesting, thanks for taking the time to share. I was wondering how it happened. Would you mind sharing a bit about the SATS? Thanks!

I have a bunch of these lil military air compressors and decided to swap on a Predator engine from Harbor Freight after a friend did a similar swap. Engine was $90 with a 2 year warranty after a 25% discount coupon the checkout person gave me. Here are a couple quick pics, I'll post some more...
