Greetings All,

Just sharing some pictures and a short video of the 22hp ChangFa
diesel engine & 15KW generator head that arrived yesterday. Had a
blast doing the minor engine assembly and starting her up for the
first time.

Surprinsingly, the noisest part of the engine is the air intake. It
makes a very loud "Whoomph" on each intake stroke. I think a little
creative engineering here could provide signifant noise redcution.

Anyway, here's a link to the pictures and short video:
