Has anyone here played with the 4.2KW DC gen sets powered by the 4A032 engine? You could plug a slave cable into it and use the DC head as a starting motor
for the engine. I have one of those in the pile I need to play with......you guys are going to inspire me to get a bunch of old projects done!

they are great lil compressors, very high quality and HD
