Yep Model Aircraft engines. Sorry I just couldn't resist. I mean they
are diesels :p You'd need quite a few of them to get any torque, and
the noise would drive you nutz.

by the way,,,,, are you a texas boy?????

Not any more. Used to live in texas in the 80s and 90s

Let's see: 25hp, $2500, 1000lbs.

40lbs/hp, $100/hp.

It's a good think that shipping is included. It could double the
price.

I think it's a .020. A two-stroke glowplug diesel. Runs on alchol and
castor oil. Probably less than 2" square, and probably weighs about 3
oz. There may be smaller though.

Hardy/China diesel

This might be the smallest.

3 hp diesel outboard $995
thanks for the link,good info, a little fyi about yanmar,they are the maker
of all small engines for john deere tractors now. no tractor in u.s.a. under
100hp are made here anymore. i'm a farmer/rancher--jack of all trades kinda
guy. i just find this a little unpatriotic. some do have excellent quality
and good prices, i guess that's what it come down to, i still don't like it
but like most i'll probably buy it too. robby
