As I recall from my days working in a boatyard (in the early 50's),
the Petter diesels wee used as an engine in sailboats large enough to

I ran across a Petter diesel genset at the Green Dragon flea / farmers
market in Ephrata, PA last Friday. *It's at the tool stand run by
"Larry" in building 5. *I didn't think to look for specific
information on makers plates, etc, but it was small enough that it was
probably a single cylinder engine. *I recall from my reading in the
past that Petters have a following, so I thought I'd mention it here
in case anybody's interested. *The sign said he was asking $600 (or
best offer - I think) *The Green Dragon is only open Fridays. *Larry
has a smaller tool stand at Roots on Tuesdays, but *my guess is that
the genset is heavy enough that it will stay at the Green Dragon
rather than travelling.
