I've been seeing these little IHC LA and LB engines running car alternators at engine shows this year. Usually they are chugging away charging up the camper battery. I decided to build one for myself -but I made mine electric starting! The starter generator came from an old garden tractor. I made a few simple brackets and here you see it. This video is the "maiden voyage" of the thing, so I didn't really know what to expect. Since this video was taken I have adjusted the mechanical voltage regulator to throw a little more charge than 0.8 amps. This engine was used to pump an oil well for most of its life.
