Those farm generators are from old Dodge trucks that we scrapped. B Series 12 valves. Light duty engines.
I'm sure that Dodge fans will correct me if I'm wrong, but those B series engines are medium duty as far as I know.
Never seen a gasser last 22000 hrs in a boat or a truck, EVER!
22,000 hours running works out to around a million miles. There was a thread started about that a while ago and I found a Volvo that went almost 2 million miles. There were also a few trucks that went around a million miles as well, so it can and does happen. Also, if that is constant or near constant running, an engine will last longer in those conditions than when it is started and shut off frequently. I remember seeing gassers removed from cars and trucks and set up to run irrigation pumps. Those engines would run from around May till September before being shut off and would last for years.
