it appears to be a changfa to me,

they update and change their engine numbers every so often so they may no longer list a 170B engine
but rather call it something else with the 170 in the number

It looks especially so as it has the Changfa trademark symbol on the cooling hopper info tag.

there seems to be a logo on the crank case? But I wouldn't know the Changfa trade mark, thanks for the replys.

That looked to me like an oil can symbol. It is on the timing cover next to the oil fill hole as i recall.

That would be a Changfa R170B. I have two such units and just purchased a third. The born on date of mine is November 2005. and I didnt get to spank it into live until September of 2006. I plan to use mine on a small 1.5kw cogenerator system capturing the heat from the water jacket and exhaust for hotwater that my two electric hot water heaters now supply.
