Hi All
Second post after reading most of forum.  Found some related posts about available small slow diesels but not on point of - what is AVAILABLE TO USA NOW, 2010, for 6/1 CS replacement (1-3kW,4/7 to 24/7)?  Am looking to capture a real Lister fouind nearby but a new option might be best.  Any ideas?  Should I get the Yanmar mounted to one of my heads and just be content?  Thanks and hope to add value to forum in future.

Yanmar 9 hp air cooled driving nothing yet, Lister 5hp awaiting capture, 6200 # free FLA cells, 1000 A cell tester, megger, Dranetz scope, etc.

You could get a China diesel 195 and run it at 1200 RPM with just a bit of retardation of the injector timing.  Not endorsing any dealers here but it seems you might still be able to buy an engine from Carrol Stream.  Where 'bouts are you located?

Hi RCA
Not far from Canada, Connecticut, but no info on border crossing even if I was tempted!!  Are these still EPA OK for lower 48?  Thanks

Here you go.  Yes the 195 and also the larger 1115 are available.  I am building a plant right now based on a 1115 to run at 1800 RPM.  Expect 10+ kW out.  My engine is not their brand however.

These guys are in Illinois.  If you want one don't delay.  EPA is not your friend and availability could go south any time.

You are welcome.  If you get a 195 with radiator built in plan to take it off and replace with a reliable thermosiphon cooling system.
