Yanmar L90 VS China diesel L 100 clone cold start

I say cold start on the vid, I mean fresh start, the outdoor temp for this vid was 78* F. Yanmar has more hours but is quieter even without any exhaust pipe than the China clone (a lot of the china diesel noise could be from the generator head). I usually let engines warm up before reving but I wanted to show the exhaust difference cold.

I have a 186FA clone engine in my generator. It was running this year for long periods of time ~10h a day or sometimes even more. Its very loud but there is no smoke while the engine is running. Your smoke is fuel related (at least mine was, i get premium diesel and it does not smoke at all and can start on cold mornings). Its ok for the price

i have a 418cc yanclone in my enfield bullet, about 60.000km giving good service.

Do the easy stuff first. Check engine oil, air filter, and make sure it has fuel. Confirm fuel shut off is in the on positionLoosen the fuel line at the injector and hold down the compression release leverTurn engine over till fuel is leaking out of the loose connection. Tighten connection and start it up.

The 15 year old Yanmar will be running in another 15 years when that Chinese Junk long dead. I am not rich enough to buy cheap generators.

So what did you end up doing with the yanmar?Yours was quiet,most air cooled diesels i see like that sound like the world is coming to an end when fired up.

[@BillSikes.]

your Chinese one is exactly the same as my one,mine run good every day until I stoped using it back in October now it won't start at all,but I did get it going with easy start once,run it for an hour stopped let it cool and tried to start it again but nothing...just keeps cranking but not firing up..anyone got any ideas why it won't start ?

Hi wondering now that a year has passed how your Yanmar L90 compares to the china diesel......would love to know.

[@dysonman2009]

I have a l100 and it won’t start at all

[@adamsorell4851]

HA it sat on side "SILENT DIESEL GENERATOR". its too loud even on u tube

[@tacosteelersman1624]

The Yanmar is far superior, the clone leaks oil but still runs good. I have 0 complaints about the Yanmar it runs great and is great. Of course it is mounted on my cub cadet original so it gets run time.
