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


Yeah, small diesels from Lombardini SUCK. I had one on a generator,
what a ****ing POS. Impossible to start in cold weather and
prohibitively loud. I am so happy to have gotten rid of that turd of a
generator.

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


I would not take that crap for free.

Yeah? Finally you consider yourself qualified to offer an opinion?
Noting your history of being a cheapskate in most matters, your
opinion is more than likely as a result of some cheap purchase of
something requiring overhaul.
