Lets get to work. There is much to post.
Henry
Ah, yes, I was wishing for a Changfa section. I was tired of being "other".
I broke down in tears when I saw the Changfa section. :-)
THE MIGHTY CHANGFA LIVES!!!
We are no longer a lowly band of outcast noisy diesel owners!
Cheers,
Veggie
Hello Veggie,
Good to see you here.
I posted instructions in General Discussion.
Look for: How to attach pictures
Henry

I just noticed in your post that you have over 10 Changfa's. (5 of them being 195's)
Are you opening a store ?
What do you do with all those engines?
Veggie

I think it is his way of repentance for buying so many Isuzu reefer engines. :D
Hi friends! First post here. I was wondering where you all went from Lister Engine Forum. I must have missed an important notice.

This is what happens when you hide your email address in your profile :)
Only about half of the old forum members had their email visible and got the "important notice" :)
Well actually only those that had a minimum of 10 postings were notified. I copied all the emails by hand and if I had not cut off at 10 postings I would still be typing next year ....
Jens
Jens,
I hadn't realized I was hiding anything since I had PM enabled and linked to my email address. Unlike many others I have also always disclosed my location in my Profile. Jason informed me about this new site today after I just happened to ask him if he knew what happened to LEF. He told me you are to thank for setting up this new place. Thank you!!!!!! Too bad we couldn't have kept our Post Number Seniority. Any chances of that as an 'upgrade'? ;)

Re the number of posts. from what I understand of the underlying software it is either impossible or too much work to carry that count in. If the entire data structure from the old forum was available that might possibly happen when the old info is imported but that is not likely to happen (IMHO)
Jens
We are born again! ;D

Well let's hope we can be a lot better than
that. ::)
Wow this is like walking into a new Changfa Store filled with new engines and shelves stocked with parts. This is cool. WOW. I like it. ;D
John:
did you ever get your starter situation sorted out? did you find another or get yours fixed?
lost track of you for a while and either never heard what the resolution was or i forgot?
bob g
After spending about $500.00 on 3 different starters that were "guaranteed" to be the right one (which none were) I gave up and rebuilt the original one using parts from the 3 I purchased. It was an expensive lesson for sure. I still have hopes of finding a GM/Ford starter that will work, it's out there somewhere. My dream is to be able to walk into NAPA and get one off the shelf. ;D
...here is where all you guys hanging up... ;D
Yea its a great place. Welcome aboard Shipo.
Henry
Is anyone working or running a S195 is weekend? Lets hear about it if someone is.
Henry
Henry:
if my back will allow me, and the wife is well enough to take care of herself, i am planning
on rerunning a full set of specific fuel consumption tests on the 195 driving the st7.5 on sunday.
and if i can get through with that, i will rerun a set of tests on the 195 driving the 555alternator
for comparison.
i got tons of data from several months ago, but in all my excitment i didn't keep things together very
well,
but now that i am typing this, i think i have my daughters science fair project from last year, it was a full
battery of tests burning a 50/50 mix of waste oil and pump diesel, maybe later tonight i will dig that up
and post those test results and then follow up tomorrow on pump diesel.
you going to do any specific fuel consumption testing this weekend?
personally i can't wait to see the results of a 195DI w/st12 belt drive, compared to 195IDI w/st7.5 direct drive
(i am betting you best me by 3-5% because the DI engine is about 5% more efficient than the IDI, and the st12 might
be a percent or two better than an st7.5 because you are running at about 2/3 capacity and i am running at near 95%capacity.)
maybe we can show these lister and listeroid boys how we changfa boys roll?
they only wish they could get as many kwatts out of a gallon of fuel!!
hahaha
(throwing down the gaunlet)
bob g
maybe tomorrow we can plug in some really good content into the "Testing" section of this forum?
Hello Bob,
I will be looking for a scale this weekend. And once I'm ready I will let you know.
I am really excited about doing this test.
I did not expect numbers I pulled yesterday with 100% diesel.
Bob, Guard those numbers from yesterday with your life. Sorry guy's the readings I pulled yesterday is lock box. And they will be posted once the test is ran again to confirm the readings from yesterday. The next test will also have fuel weighed.
But for now you guys will have to wait it out. ;D
Lets hope I can get a good scale for a decent price.
Henry
No problem Henry, i will post mine and you can post yours,, besides
the admin will ban me for a week if i take credit for your numbers anyway!
i really look forward to your specific fuel consumption tests with that engine and genhead combo
i know i have squeezed mine for every last drop of efficiency, and am thinking i will be cracking
open the crate on a IDI 195 and i already have an st12 on the shop floor waiting for me to mate it up.
only wish i had a 3 phase meter head because i would mate my stc12 to the IDI 195 and see how much more
could be squeaked out... that would probably be the absolute limit for this class of engine driven genset.
good luck in your search for a scale
bob g
Not on topic, but I wish there had been a forum or at least a thread for Changfa engines before I got my roid, I'd likely gone this way (please don't tell them 'roid people though - i might get banned again ;D)
Keep up the good work, might go changfa for the other house.
Cheers, Fred
Fred,
You will love both engines for different reasons.
I have 2 Changfa's and just got a 6/1 roid. The best of both worlds.
Mobile Bob threatened to ban me from the Changfa club for treason, but then I think he realized that roids have a certain charm also.
(Between you and me.....I think he's jealous ;) )
Cheers,
Veggie
