I purchased one of the 4000w china diesel gen-sets. The engine can be
purchased by itself. Out of the box I had to fix the injector pump to
make it work. Because of the faulty installation at the factory the pump
had a very short life and had to be replaced within a year. I was able
to contact the importer and purchase a new injector pump so figure most
parts are available but would not buy another one. Noise is way above
the advertised level (tested according to the standard testing methods
with a meter). I don't believe you would want to use one if you could
not stay at least 100 ft away from it. I tried an enclosure with noise
abatement sheeting without satisfactory results. I drove a half mile
away from the gen-set while running and could still tell it was running.
Even a water muffler like on the boat didn't help much because the fins
on the motor resonate.
Maybe some people on this or other list have come up with methods to
quiet one of these beasts but I couldn't.
