I just acquired a diesel engine that says it's a Changchai S195NM. Is this a Changfa or some kind of clone? Is it a good engine or something to avoid?

Thanks, Bill.

I have a clone also
did you get a parts kit (extra stuff)
Some say that the parts are made the same, and will interchange
you should be good
feed it some WVO

I have a Xing Dong S1100 that has parts in it marked with several different makers marks. I think these things are
assembled from a jumble of different parts. the list is posted around here somewhere, but I can't find it.

They could be a pretty good engine.

Just take the time go over the engine as I wrote in: Preperation before putting Changfa type engines in service.

Unfortunately I don't have any kind of manual on this thing so I have no clue how it works. It has a radiator with a fan and what looks like a starting gear on the front but I don't have a handle. Looking at it I think it used to have an e-start but it's nowhere to be found.

The engine is dated 1999 and has never been started. Anybody have a link to a pdf owner's manual and parts list?

I will send you a copy of a Changfa manual to your email address. It should help you get started.

Send that to me also Henry. Here is a link I found online today. http://www.rotek.at/produkte/pdf-aktuell/Motoren/!ED4W-Changfa/ED4W-1195-E-ZS1115/ZS1115G-Manual-en.pdf  I need to find the water drain plug on my 1105. The person I got it from only had water and no antifreeze.

I will send you one for a ZS1100 try this one first. Let me know if this helps. Check your email in a bit.

Only water never hurt my Golden Flying Fish ;D As long as I flushed it with fresh water it was fine. In cold weather make sure to drain it.

For now I just want to drain it. Will flush it once I get the gen head working properly.
