[Vwdiesel] Injector Pump Speed Stability & Genset Use

[Harmon Seaver]

  Although I forgot to add that I thought that was a pretty crummy genset
conversion. He should have used a 1800rpm generator or induction motor and ran
it straight off the crank rather than belt arrangement. I had a sawmill running
off a vw industrial engine with multiple belts -- they don't last that long when
you're running it all day. Of course, just for intermitent emergency use it's
okay, but not for a cogen unit. Expensive and hard to keep aligned.
