Hi

It will depend on which company built the generator Farymann is only the engine

If the conversation has been carry out by some one like Fisher Panda it should be OK

But how well has the unit been serviced can you hear it running and test the AC output before purchase

Not uncommon to find blocked waterways around the cylinder head

Very common to find that piston rings are jammed no compression

There have been many threads on YBW in the past. I think the problem is that they are direct water cooned - not a good thing in a salt water environment and if the engine doesn't get corroded with salt, it fails at anything between 500 and 800 hours.

OTOH some folks thought they were marvellous...

 

Are they still around as a product, if not that might say something?

 

They were popular because there was a lot of power in a very small package - perhaps that was their downfall, small single cylinder engine screaming around at 3,000 rpm with poor cooling.

 

My info is second hand; so treat it with due caution.

Vetus used this engine in their 4kva silent running gennie.

Fitted one in customers boat once. Its a cow to bleed,even worse to work on ,had to repair the starter after the gennie had done about 3 hours and it isnt exactly silent.

Other than that its been alright.
