Re: help i.d. a detroit 2stroke 4 cyl engine size
Definitely a different govenor is in order. You may want to look for a different camshaft too. 471 generators were usually set up to run at a steady1800 rpm. Using it with the generator specifications means you will give up low end torque. A generator is designed to start up and go to working RPM with no load. Then when the generator is put on line the govenor is set up to keep the engine at 1800 +/- 100.
