A friend bought a changfa 1125 and a 15kw st head about the same time
I purchased mine. At that time a Chinese coupling was available that bolted
directly the head and engine that we also got.
He brought his to my shop and we built a nice heavy frame with rollers and he took
it home where it has sat for the last 10 years or so.
Well the hurricane came through. I never lost power but he did.
SOOOOO , today he calls.......think we can get his genset running ?
I have told him for years to get it out and run it, but you know always too busy.
I ride over to his place, drag it out. A trip to his shop for a few feet of wire
and some connectors......presto, bango....30 minutes later......ah, A /C, refrigerator,
lights...all is good....
Amazing, after setting for 10 years it fired right up and runs like a champ !
We set voltage/hz with the kill o watt, I hung for an hour or so making sure
he understood start/stop and what to look out for.
I have always said I hate the noise and banging and clanging of those Changfa
engines but they always seem to run every time they are needed. I probably have
a few hundred hours on mine and it has never let me down.
My thoughts for the day,
Gary
