Honda diesel engine - Ebay UK - ending 21/10/12

[Redkite]

Hi all, Not sure of its suitability, but an interesting VeeTwin diesel engine on EvilBay. Unusual in that its a belt drive to the generator, which sounds simpler to adapt for primary drive maybe? I recall testing the output on one of these many years ago (now a retired sparky). My abiding memory was the diesel clatter/ din from the aircooled engine!! but I bet it'll last. Happy bidding.

Would be much easier to find with a link or at least an item number.

This one I think?

Honda diesel engine generator, V twin engine good, generator not working.

Item: 180996242811

Honda E4000E diesel generator. The V twin diesel generator starts and runs just fine, as does the electric start. It has heater plugs and decompressors for easy starting. The generator is belt driven and does not provide any electrical power. This is why it is sold as spares or repair. The unit was the back up power supply for an off-grid windpower system. This system has been replaced by a fully automatic Powerguard integrated unit. The small in-frame diesel fuel tank was disconnected when in situ, and the fuel came from a large high level tank. I have attached a header tank to this fuel line so the engine can be shown running. This is a real nice air-cooled V twin diesel engine, and as there is a belt drive it can be used for many other applications. I did think it would be great in a motorcycle. Starting battery not included. I have the owner’s handbook that goes with the machine. Heavy item so collection preferred, unless you want to organise courier. In this case I will strap it on a pallet, but I will have to drain the oil and fuel. There will be a charge of £10 extra for this unless the bid goes over £150, in which case the pallet is free. Deal to be completed within 7 days from auction end, no sob stories. Payment by Paypal, cleared cheque, or cash on collection. Definitely no haggling after the auction ends.

The E4000 seems to be the only source for this very rare Honda V2 Diesel Engine.
But it's a nice engine and I'd love another bike with it.
