Well it has finally happened the EPA has banned the import of the infamous chinese changfa diesel and the lister clones from india.
I know this will delight many of you as anything blocked from china and india is just great in your minds, but...
It pisses me off to know end, i see it as another in a long chain of intrusions on my personal life, to say nothing of what it has done to those who have built their livelihood around the import and or manufacture around these engines.
i am with those that are deeply concerned about cheap chinese imports and all that, but to my knowlege there are NO alternatives built in this country for the single cylinder diesel, and with the EPA certification likely never will be.
i guess it is time to design a single cylinder based on oem parts, perhaps a detroit unit injector to elliminate the need for a high pressure timed injection system.
i don't know i am just enraged...
alternatives? thoughts? opinions?
