I know this is not the place for this but o well. What kind of turbo would fit on a 300cc single cylinder diesel?:shocked: :shocked: Its not a driveshaft tractor it has belts but I want to take to a mini pull any way! I plan on putting a small stack on in the next few weeks. In the last week after putting motor on I have ridden it about one hour and it has used about one inch of fuel in tank. Its sipping down the street!!:cheers:

EBAY 200224539889 this is the engine I bought off ebay. It is a chinese made knockoff of the yenmar single cylinder engine. All the parts look to be the same and should interchange. From me riding the tractor in the last week this 6hp diesel seams to have the power of a 12hp gas or larger. If there is any body out there needing a motor for a lawnmower or gocart or minibike I highly recomend this little engine. The seller is very friendly and will awnser all questions. Is there Any body out there that has repowered something with a small diesel engine?

Just mixed up a batch of 50/50 diesel/old fried chicken grease this morn and my little diesel runs well on it. I built a stack for it and wanted to show it off. This is the factory tailpipe off my 87 susuki samurai with a little work. If any body on here knows any thing about these chinese diesels I would like to know how or if I can turn it up to blow some more smoke. Luvs the smoke. The tank has a line that runs to the head and it looks like a injector but has a hard line that goes up to the top were the injector is. I guess it is run off oil pressure. Been looking online for info on engine with no luck.
