Petter type engines

Aug 26, 2005 3 Replies

Can anyone point me in the direction of some technical information about petter type water-cooled 1500rpm engines please (are there some rated at about 6hp?). I need to know things like:-



- Combustion chamber design



- Compression ratio



- piston material



- which models are the most durable?



- how does their durability compare with a Lister CS?



- do they come with electric start?



Much appreciated.

I've just noticed that an earlier Petter post mentioned petrol. My interest is in diesels only.
