in military/industrial jargon, each hour is the equivalent of 60 miles. I was responsible for several diesel generators/fire pumps during my time in service and I always felt sorry for the wear caused by full throttle cold starts! Used to make me cringe, as I was the one who had to rebuild them. Still cringe and that was over 50 years ago.

it turned over freely but i went ahead and sprayed fogging oil in cylinders.i have control panel that went with it with an hour meter of 102 hours.its been inside a building and not run for around 10 years.i spun it by hand and can feel compression.i will have to get a 6 volt battery to test or would a 12 volt work for short bursts?

pull the spark plugs, put some oil in the cylinders spin it over with a battery and see if it has compression, maybe fit an oil pressure gauge to it--could be a very good engine--general location ?
