It sounds like it's two votes for "good" and two for "bad" on Hatz. It turns out one fuel pump has an 2A016 2-cyl gas motor, and the other has the Hatz diesel. When I turn the Hatz with the starting crank I hear scraping noises. The crankcase is full of clean oil. I'm not sure what the noise is about. The equipment looks pristine on the outside. I'm a little leery of starting it. The starting procedure involves filling a priming cup with motor oil, which is something I've never encountered before.
