I think so if I can find the time. Just won 4 more 003 engines today so I'll strip them and experiment with one. Lots of new/good dc vr's, starters, IP's injectors, glow plugs, stators, solenoids, etc coming available since I now have 10 rebuilt engines, Just need time. Jerry :grd:

"So in this sense the large engine on a small gen head would be much more responsive and have less droop when hit with a step load." That aspect is what prompted the idea in the first place. Thanks. Jerry

steelypip, So, I could do a round lead mold and fasten it balanced within the fan and have the same effect as hanging another flywheel, without affecting clearance between fan and shroud? Tom, If I upped the breaker to the one on the 10kw, I could possibly run at 7kw, managing load, with...

Speddmon, Tom, I remember that thread now. I even saw my own awe-struck post there as a complete babe in the woods. Still am, I'm afraid, at least regarding the electricals. Thanks, Jerry aua

Tom, That was pretty much what I had in mind. Thanks for the opinion. Wonder how much fuel an 003a engine would burn at half load? Jerry

etn550, Thank you. I am sufficiently deterred from this experiment. Great info on heat buildup in the head. I hadn't considered it. Just thought I might squeeze 2-3 more kw out of the head with increased engine reserve power. Jerry

Thanks Jim. I figured if anyone had tried, it might be you. Are you sure the max is the limit of the head versus limit of the engine? Jerry

I am curious (assuming larger engine frame support can be solved) if anyone has ever tried to put a MEP-003a engine on a MEP-002a? When does the gen-head max out? Its response to 9kw load is to lug the 002 engine. If a bigger engine, is the head capable of more output? I have 4 rebuilt 003a...
