The easiest way to find out, is to locate the serial number that has been stamped into the metal casting somewhere... then type that serial number or model number into www.google.com and add the word "generator" or "diesel" in the search.

Or you could just search for "diesel generator" in images and find something similar:

You are going to put this diesel motor on a go-kart? Torque = yay! ... but you'll be going 5mph.

Oh yea , just for the fun and sell it for big bucks. I am hoping it can burn tires on a car tire in the rear off the timing chain. But 5mph? All I have to remove the governor.

It will wrap up to 3,500 rpm, but that limited by the carb and governor, right? If not then... I guess I'll turbocharge it, or supercharge it. No, wait just more torque, it gutta be that carb and gov
