Here's a few bits of info. Yes, GM = Detroit Diesel.
2 Strokes, roots blower inducted, the first number of the model is the number of cylinders, second number is the displacement of each cylinder. 353 = Three 53 cubic inch cylinders. Common cylinder displacements were 53,71 and 92 cubic inches. A 'V' thrown in means (naturally) it's a V-block engine. When I was a young man, I worked on a 65 foot marine patrol boat were our primary powerplants were a pair of 12-V-92's. It 'got with it' pretty good. Number 1 rule for a Jimmy.. never lug it. Always wind it up it's proper operating range. Number 2 rule.. if they start aspirating flammable vapors, they will run away, over-rev and blow up. As stock equipment, your engine should have a emergency-stop trapdoor over the roots blower intake that shuts off all air when tripped. If you pull the emergency lever to stop it, you have to reset the door before it will start. My hoe is supplied by a large pressure hose with a quick-disconnect fitting. Maybe your's is disconnected. -- bb
