Anybody know anything about Continental Diesels. I might go look at a 15 kw generator that is powered by a Continental Diesel.

Are they any good, parts available, sleeved, type of IPs, etc.?

I know they put bigger ones in military vehicles (duece and a half, etc.) and I have an old Towmotor lift truck that has a Continental Y112 gasser (real easy and cheap to work on!).

Thanks, JP.

I know Lincoln welders use continental engines. Parts should be plentiful..

Massey Ferguson Tractors used to use Continental gas engines.

They where usually the gas engined ones, the diesel or multifuel unit was a Hercules.

Do you have an engine model #. Number of cylinders? Some of them where based on the gas engine (H260 and HD260 come to mind, 4 cylinder 260 cu. in.) and in fact shared alot of parts, crank, cam, pistons. Rods where heavier, distributer hole was capped and obviously the head is different.

Some parts are available, some aren't.
