Well this is something I am seriously considering for my Muskateer.

The unkown 12HP engine could easily be replaced by the diesel engine. I feel that motor is an ideal unit that princess auto sells.

I thought about these engines engine,diesel engine manufacturer and engine,diesel engine supplier--China Shanghai Bronco Electric Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. though it seems they are light on HP.

As I am converting my full size 90 Bronco to a 7.3 IDI turbo intercooled diesel, It would be simpler to carry 1 fuel for my ATV thus the desire to convert to diesel as the fellow in this thread.

I do like the suggestion of tear down and inspection of the engine prior to installation, makes for assurances and piece of mind.

This would have to be put to the GF for approval but in all likely hood she would say YA HA!

I'll be watching this thread to see how it goes, clutch tuning etc.

I was thinking of a small aux trans after the clutch to provide a taller gear for fire road etc.
