Forum for air cooled diesel engines and clones

Thank you but no it’s not what I’m looking for.
The manual was written by Niehoff.
I have a file on my old computer just need to find it.
Thank you for your effort

Amazing, you started this entire thread and its well over 60 pages now. So many manuals have been posted in this thread too over the years. Truly an amazing topic here.

Found this on google.
Not the workshop manual but it shows electrical schematics.

Quite some time ago I believe I posted the shop manual for the Niehoff N1603 military generator.
Does anyone know where it’s posted or a copy for a fellow TBN’r.
Thanks

And with my metadata script tool for the web, I found this,

I searched your posts here, and it isn't mentioned as such, nor could I find one on the web. Sorry.

I was reminded what a neat setup you have.

All the best,

Peter

I have 2 genuine air cooled Yanmar diesels and a Chinese quiet generator set with an L100 clone.
The Yanmar air cooled diesels are excellent engines very well designed, durable and easy to work on.
My Chinese quiet diesel generator rated at 6500 watts has however proven otherwise, this generator failed at 41 hours due to a failure of the small bearing end of the camshaft. The cam bearing surface was not hardened and wore causing the engine to shut down due to low oil pressure from metal contamination of the filter.
It has taken me 2 years to find (Chinese) replacement parts. The engine is back together and currently running fine however I have little faith in it.
Finding information or user experience on the Yanmar and Chinese clones is difficult and finding Chinese parts is worse.
I have learned quite a lot about these engines and would share it with others however there is no forum that focuses on the L series Yanmar or clones.
Would it be possible to create a forum dedicated to the air cooled Yanmar and Chinese clones??

Thanks Tim

I cant see how to make a new post?I have a enclosed generator that the fuel pump appears not to work?This one is different then my other 186f,this one has a selonoid on the pump,trying to figure out what that is for?Stops the fuel?There is a blue wire should that have constant power when running?or only enegized when shutting down?thanks

That’s hard to say.. u can check it to be sure with a test lite or multi meter..
Most of them I deal with are “ETR” energized to run solenoids.. which means 12v will be constant when running..(on)
If u like, u can send a pic to my email.. it’s my screen name at aoldotcom..

I have an enclosed gen might quip 7000(need manual?)that has a selonoid on the fuel pump?does this stop the fuel?has a blue wire to it?If so does it have power constant while running?or only powers on to stop it?Cant seem to find a way to post on this thread?thanks(my other ones have no selonoid on the fuel pump)

Welcome to TBN!

I have a similar setup, and yes the solenoid controls the fuel, but not the way you wrote. 12V opens the solenoid, and allows the pump to pump diesel. In my limited experience, the solenoid internal coils go bad with some frequency, but I would rule out other potential plugs, like the filter first. The wire can vibrate and break, so it is worth checking that the solenoid has and keeps power while running.

All the best,

Peter

Hi,

i have a Generator with ah 186f Yanmar Diesel Clone with 9 workinghours.
After two hours it stopped working and wont start again.
There is a light grey/white smoke while cranking it up with the electric starter but it wont start, also the decompressionlever does not help.
Diesel direct to the intake does not help.
Startspray into the intake also ich not.
The selenoid does work and the injectionnozzle sprays great.
I made a leakdown test where i could detect only smoke in pushrod shaft.

The compression is about 16bar
Any tips for troubleshooting?
