Acme Diesel has a new home

[LocomotiveBreath]

The acme Diesel has a new home, my buddy and local electronics expert took the engine off my hands and in turn he made me take this home.

Looks like a real tank of an engine!

Hey smart guy, it's about the same size as a 10 hp Yanmar @ 105lbs, but when I first saw the engine all I saw was FREE!

For others in the forum that might be interested, Specs can be found on this site, Look for ADN 43W

I meant TANK in a good way.

The starter looks massive and I'm sure there's one massive crankshaft support bearing in that casting.

I'm pretty sure I know the slang term for tank, I also know the meaning of of the phrase BACK PEDDLE!

Note: this Supercharged Small Block Chevy powered Nash is being run on CNG(compressed natural gas)



Back to the engine, since I really have little invested into her, I'd like to find someone that would like to have her. A learning tool so to speak, I was thinking of $50 + shipping, maybe or donate it to a school or individual that could use it. A good karma jesture. Let me know.

I love the idea of having an Acme engine, reminds me of Saturday morning cartoons when I was a kid (when cartoons were loony toons and merry melodies, not some Japanese crud), on my gas tank I'd have ACME in big bold letters and have a picture of road runner above it.

I miss those cartoons also
