Amazon 418cc Diesel Engine 10hp Unboxing First run

Electric Start Conversion KIT L100 for YANMAR L100 10HP 186F for Diesel Engines Starter Motor

That's a sweet engine! 418cc would make a beast of a generator. At 3600rpm it'd be perfect for a 60Hz direct-drive stator!

I love these small diesels. I have two of the 418cc. You will need starter and ring gear. The flywheel it comes with doesn't have a ring gear. Use a 27mm socket and impact wrench to get the flywheel off. Then a 3-jaw gear puller. The flywheel has three holes in it to pull it off the shaft. The ring gear is about 10.5" diameter. Heat it with a propane torch and it'll drop right on. The starter is easy to mount. Connect your battery+ to the big threaded stud on the solenoid. Then with a screwdriver I touch that stud to the only other electrical connector on the solenoid and it will spin up. Note! You still need to press down the decomp lever, even with a starter! There is an ungodly amount of compression to fight against. What I like to do is let the starter turn the engine over 5 or 6 times, to get up to speed, then let go of the decomp so that on the 7th revolution, it resets the decomp, the exhaust valve closes and all that rotational kinetic energy slams the air into submission :) I just ordered another ring gear and starter myself. Ring gear is $38 and starter is $94. I have one of these engines mounted on a rolling cart with a Harbor Freight 10KW generator head. Both have 1" shaft. Using dual sheave "B"-section pulleys. Using a little bit bigger diameter pulley on the engine than the generator head, so that the engine will run at 3000RPM and the generator at 3600RPM. As you've probably already noticed, increasing the engine RPM suddenly not only rolls coal but it will sound like it has a rod knock. It's normal. It's the sound of combustion you're hearing. At that moment, there's more fuel than there's available oxygen (hence the "coal") and it makes a distinct hammering sound. These diesel engines are awesome. I run mine off of 3 parts "black diesel" (centrifuged filtered motor oil) and 1 part real diesel. Runs perfectly off of it. I was afraid it would smoke like hell but no difference as compared to real diesel. Have Fun!

For the electric start you will need the starter and ring gear as well as the stator, rectifier/regulator, and magnet drum these usually come in a kit search electric starter kit engine model... Mine is a 196fa (it's the 13hp variant)

I have done lots of electronic starters on these. You will need a starter, ring gear and I also recommend to install the stator coil kit with the regulator. The coil and reg will charge the battery. Most don't come with the parts for electric start. Flywheel is bolted with a keyway.

This channel will take over the world! Already a fan. Greetings from germany, (just wanted to let you know you made it across the pond)

We have very similar engine (probably from the same factory) we bought it it around 2017 ( Model 186FA, Power 6.6 kw @ 3600 rpm, weight 48 kg). We only done oil change ones. Oil viscosity 5W-30 synthetic. Also it came with electric starter.

starts super fast. pull to resistance,push decompresor,pull hard. Must have accelator to on position

Push decompresser, pull a couple of turns make sure you hear injection sound, release decompresser you're done with this now. . Pull cord slowly until you feel compression, nudge it just over compression, dont go too far, just until resistance eases. Return cord for a full pull, pull fast it will start everytime,

Run smooth like sandpaper 😂

still waiting for one of you guys to bolt the freakin' motor to a board before you try to start it.

got an old 310cc flat head Sears engine that's bored 30 over, takes a good 120 pounds to pull start it. 💪 got a 8kw generator that justifies rebuilding the old thing. just needs a sleeve on the connecting rod.

I have a small diesel engine my cousin installed for me on an old Troy built tiller… It’s has a lot of compression so it can be a bitch to start but once you get it pulled it normally starts and runs good! 👍

I'm wondering if can be adopted to a Lincoln 225 welder it be a match made in welder haven

I just bought this very engine and discovered I wanted the electric start as well. There are kits on eBay

Ive thought about one of those. I have a buch of used veg oil, from local fairgrounds and would probably quiet it down some running on it. Best way of running veg oil is a heated 2 tank setup so when you shut it down or start up, its on pure diesel. . Normally on a road engine i use the coolant to heat it up, so without coolant you would need to get a little creative. Id figure 20 gal would run that thing for quite a long time.

That’s cool bro, i would repace the other engine with the new one for a generator. But all up to you, love your work ❤👍🍻

Gonna get me one as well so worth a subscription, but I'm likely getting a slightly bigger one.

I don't know squat about diesels, but would an electric glow plug (if thats what it's called) help it start easier? I'd love to put one of these in a golf cart.

Yes get the electric starter model 😊
