Default 500w self-starting DC generator anyone?

I suggest concentrating on diesel. The gas version ABSOLUTELY must
have no self starting feature for boating applications unless you have
a line on amazing liability insurance. Starting a gas engine, or any
other flame producing device, on a boat that carries gas must always
be done after careful determination that there have been no leaks. It
wouldn't be much different in any other enclosed space and that's
where something like this is apt to end up.

A small diesel could burn K2 which is nearly as available as gas now.

But, it needs to be diesel before it will get any more attention
than that from many of us. I would want diesel even if it was
twice as big as a shoebox and heavier. There are some small diesel
engines around. I asked the question not long ago and there is a
thread farther down somewhere.


Diesel is no problem, but probably a little louder. We can use
pretty much any common internal combustion configuration if there is
enough demand.
