Changfa engine?

(1/21) > >>

Number21:
I've been interested in buying a Changfa engine to play with for a long time, now that I'm finally getting around to it, it seems the EPA has banned them in the US. Am I correct? Is there any legal way for me to buy a new Changfa diesel in the US?

I'm near Portland, OR. Ideally I'd like one of the really small ones...3hp? I plan on experimenting with WMO to generate heat and electricity for my house.

That one on ebay isn't actually a Changfa brand engine, is it?

mobile_bob:
3 hp won't make much power, and even less heat
i assume you are wanting water cooled as well?

personally i think you need to step up to at least an r175 watercooled
that is about the smallest useful size and it won't cost that much more than a 3hp version

when you are dealing with the small engine's, i don't think any of the chinese engine's are better or worse
than the others.

at present i know of no american dealers selling genuine changfa, however
i have some of the other brands that power solutions sells and they look good to me.
