The quality of Chinese-made generators can vary depending on the brand, model, and manufacturer. While there are certainly some high-quality generators produced in China, there are also lower-quality models on the market.

 

It's important to research the specific brand and model you are considering before making a purchase. Look for reviews from reputable sources, and pay attention to the materials used, the construction quality, and the features offered.

 

In the following articles, I have introduced Chinese brands and internationally renowned brands in the Chinese market in detail.

Any interest in Chinese Diesel clone gensets?


But being retired and mostly broke I've found that some of these air cooled Chinese diesel gensets can be gotten at a reasonable price with very little wrong with them and they are fun to play with.
The engines are Yanmar copies and the generators are mostly capacitor regulated but some have brushes and true electronic AVRs. They come in basically three HP ranges, 4, 6 and 9 HP ratings and some sellers grossly overstate the ratings

I've gotten 4 of them so far, two are mine and two are my son's. Two of them are the totally enclosed yellow "Silent" ones that are around - running watts and two middle size open frame ones that are around watts. I'm still looking for one of the smaller - watt ones. The engines are all electric start and reliable. The two "Silent" yellow ones actually have catalyic converters and two mufflers with a crude form of EGR

The most expesnive one so far was $450 for an enclosed yellow one with only 4 hours on the meter and it has a key fob remote start! It wouldn't start because the fuel filter was clogged by home made bio. It's gotten us through two 3 day power outages and it's realitivley quiet.

I've found Yanmar manuals for the engines and have gathered several wiring diagrams for the generators and control panels.

I've had three generator failures. One bridge diode on the rotor. One capacitor regulator with burned spade lugs and one with a burned out field because of how some do-do grounded the battery. The engine and generator are rubber mounted (isolated from) to the frame and the battery cable was fastened to the frame. So when the starter motor was actuated the ground path was from to frame AC ground through the control panel and into the generator through some thin wire that melted the insulation on it and one of the field leads. That shorted it to ground and burned it up. I got a replacement field but it was not cheap.

Parts are available and one source is of all places Harbor Freight. They sell a version of the "silent" one.

Do these units have enough interest to have their own sub forum? I would be interested hearing other's experience.

Sorry for the length:shrug:
