Sure, but I'd still like to get an electric fan as a last scenario resource...

One of the 'be careful' aspects of this engine is the relatively light duty charging system, mostly since they were designed to be used in stationary jobs like pumps and generators where lighting wasnt' the primary function. A 65w headlight and 13w tail light and 7-10wx4 marker/turn lights would be about the extent it can handle comfortably IIRC.
I've already seen some of those engines with a built-in beam to be used in small tiller-tractors. I'd consider to use LEDs all-round exactly to reduce the demand on electric power, then I could even use a small electric cooling fan if I wanted so.
