Does anybody have any opinions/stories of 4-6 HP 1 cylinder diesel
engines, like the Yanmar L70 or anything from Lombardini?

Compared to gas engines, they look like they might cost 2-3 times more,
and weight at least twice as much.

I have had a Yanmar 3500 watt generator for about 20 years. Very cheap to
run compared to gas, always starts, no maintenance required except for oil
changes. But also very loud, especially at night, it's like a hammering
sound as opposed to the hum of a gas generator. It's also a bear to lift in
and out of my truck.
