as a generator engine i bet it was good on fuel- one of my friends has a 70 something arctic cat sled with one and its surprisingly better on fuel than my (much larger displacement) two stroke sled- of course not as fast but still a fun little engine

^ Yes, this so true. Rotaries are fuel efficient when run at a regulated/constant RPM which is why they're well suited for small applications. We have a nice generator at the shop run by a Sachs that's large enough to power a house.
