Air cooled engines for pump jacks
Air cooled engines for pump jacks
(OP)
Does anybody have any experience using small air-cooled engines (i.e. b&s or kohler) in the 11-20 HP range for pump jacks. I have heard that very frequent oil changes are a concern as well as short life-spans.

Kubota is making a small one cyl in the 20 HP range which is probaly les expensive than the other alternatives which could be a real alternative

Honda tells me that their 11 Hp engine cannot leagally be adapted to run on natural gas. Something about the total emmissions. I've tried running them in auto-start on gasoline but all I ever get is a dead battery.
I talked to Arrow last week and they would not admit to any plans to develop anything smaller than a 220 which is still a bunch of Hp for a shallow pump jack.
proddata, could you point us to a web page where you talk about the engine you are developing?
