Stationary engine Wanted

96terrano · 16-05-2012, 18:32

I'm wanting a little petrol engine maybe 3Hp. Building a battery charger. Any ideas where I can get one cheap?

If only there was an auction internet site, for the public, where one could literally find ANYTHING ...

stinka · 16-05-2012, 19:09

Besides, why not just buy a ... battery charger ?

What you really want is an old Lister CS genset. Big slow and fairly indestructible!

You got a generator to hook this up to? Might be simpler/cheaper to pick up and old genny instead? No where near as fun as bodging something together in a shed though!
