My New Petter Diesel Generator!

[Gatewayuser]

My new generator, its a Petter diesel 6Kw I don't know what year it is. It fires right up and it has a pto so I could run something too. I got it for only $375.:)

When this thing runs everyone knows who has power.

[Gatewayuser]

Its made in England and has 240 and 120.

That looks like a great deal. Probably good on fuel.

[Gatewayuser]

It seems to be good on fuel but the bad part with it is you can't move it until the ground is froze because it weighs over a ton.

I think I would rig some type of wheel system up. I have a 10.5k watt gas burner, and we rigged up some nice 6" casters for it with locks.

I'll bet every one can here that thing.

It's a single cylinder right?

I have heard the Hatz engines and they have a unique sound.

How bad is it starting in cold weather?

[Gatewayuser]

I started it at 40 degrees no problem.
It is a single cylinder, and a beast.

How do you start it?I have a old wisconsin air cooled diesel and that thing has a hand crank to fire it up.it fires on the first crank and like yours, you can hear the old girl running two blocks away.I need to find a muffler for it.

[Gatewayuser]

It has electric start and it takes a car batt.

our welder is an old Wisconson sigle cylinder, and it's LOUD.
