Lookadis cute little engine

This thread reminds me of the Skidoo motors I was looking at a while back.

I have been looking at cute little diesels recently... the Kabuto 10 and 15 hp are really cute

Anyone know if these things are "revvers" or "torquers". I mean for their size.

I don't think Suzuki makes small motors that like to rev. <-- That right there is sarcasm.

I believe the stock 660T makes max power at 7500. I wonder what fuel cut might be?

I was expecting it came out of something like those little groundskeepers trucks. Those are some cool LITTLE cars! Are there any bits & pieces available over here to keep them running? Are they reliable?

I have an AZ-1 in Ontario. The F6A engine is used in a lot of the micro vehicles, the AZ-1, cappuccino, Alto Works etc. as well as the trucks like the suzuki carry, and the Mazda scrum. Most of the trucks use the SOHC non-turbo version however. Almost all the cars use the DOHC-turbo version.

Bits and pieces for it are not easy to come by unfortunatly. Some Suzuki dealers will order the parts from japan for you but not all of them. The one local to me does not :( Any time I need parts I use a broker out of japan.

The engine red lines at 9k but dosen't fuel cut till 10.5k though there is not much point in revving it that far as power starts to drop off a little after 7.5-8k anyway.

The artic cat T660 turbo snowmobile uses a similar engine, the K6A. In most aspects they are the same, but uses and aluminimum block instead of forged as well as a few other small differences. Later model cappuccinos use the K6A (1994+ I think?).

I'm would not be surprised if some of the shops in cali that import JDM parts (e.g. http://aishagarage.com) would be happy to get stuff. Never done business with them, but have chatted, and they seem like helpful people

How about this for a "cute little engine" a 13.5 hp diesel for marine use
