[Vwdiesel] Injector Pump Speed Stability & Genset Use

[Val Christian]

This prompts a new question...how stable/accurate/repeatable is the
governor on the NA pump.  I've always dreamed of using an old engine out
of one of my cars as a genset powerplant.

A couple of questions should really be answered before attempting
that.  What is the power available at 1800 RPM?  How stable is the
governor, and can it be adjusted down to 1800 RPM?

Has anyone played with this concept?  I just thought it would be a great
way to let an old car continue to live, and get rid of the 40 year
old propane powered genset.
