Lifan engines on the motoblock: installation, characteristics. Chinese Lifan engine for motoblock

Each self-respecting gardener before the beginning of the summer season digs his site with a motoblock. But not everyone can afford to buy a new unit. That is why summer residents use cultivators made in the USSR. These motor blocks often have all sorts of problems with the engine, but there are many reasons for this. Basically, the fault of breakages is the service life, which has long been out. Recently, such problems have been solved by the engines of Lifan on the motoblock, because this is a profitable way to solve the problem on their own and for a long time.

Engines from the company Lifan, what is it?

The Chinese company Lifan has been around for a long time, because the company was founded in 1992 and continues to develop until today. At the same time, "Lifan" is considered one of the main, and to be more precise, one of the leading companies of the Chinese motor market.

The company itself develops not only engines. Its main direction is the production of cars, motorcycles and other motor vehicles. The company has a really great experience in the development of engines for various equipment.

In Russia, this company has become famous for its Chinese engines for motoblocks, because it is a fairly developed type of motor technology, which is universally applied. If earlier on the product it was written "produced in China", then many Russians this caused rejection, because as a rule, the Chinese rule means poor quality. Now, on the contrary, with the growth of the Chinese market, the quality of products has increased significantly, while the price of the goods is still very acceptable.

Characteristics of Lifan engines

"Лифановские" engines on a motor-block have various technical characteristics, according to which and it is necessary to choose the concrete model of the engine for concrete model of a motor-block. The first and main feature is the correspondence of the mounting dimensions. It will be very good, if it will be possible to pick up the engine which ideally approaches to current fastenings. You can choose the model yourself. Also there is an opportunity to contact the nearest motor store for the help of professionals. It is important to remember that if the mounts do not match, then they will have to be altered independently.

The next important characteristic is the power of the engine, which is usually measured in terms of horsepower. The most common universal motors for motoblocks have a capacity of 6.5 horsepower. This power is usually quite enough for most motoblocks. The engine models are very similar in installation and maintenance, and in operation.

Engines "Lifan" on the motoblock should be selected in accordance with the anticipated tasks that will be assigned to it. If you only need to dig a small area once a year, then you should not spend money. It is quite enough to buy a simple model from the cheapest price segment, although in general the cost of such engines starts from 9 thousand and all the engines of this company are considered very cheap compared to other brands.

How do I install a Lifan engine on a truck?

The Chinese engine is usually set in the event that the native engine has become unusable or it is already meaningless to repair it. The new engine in this case has great advantages over any Soviet. After buying the engine will be a long time to please his master by the way he is perfectly tuned. After all, as a rule, any new engine is easily started and works correctly for many years.

As already mentioned above, the engine should be selected taking into account the size of the seats, so the complexity of installing the engine "Lifan" on the motor unit depends only on the model of the frame itself, which is supposed to be installed.

The installation itself is carried out in a few simple steps, even a person who is far from the subject and who has never engaged in such a task will be able to cope with it:

1. Removal of the old engine. As a rule it is produced with the help of usual carob keys or heads. It is simply completely removed, having previously disconnected the gas cables, if they are present. Also before removal it is necessary to throw off a belt which transfers a twisting moment on a reducer.
2. Installation of a new engine. Produced by the same fasteners, if they coincide. If not, then you can remake these attachments yourself, drilling holes or even welding additional metal plates, if necessary.

How to install the engine "Lifan" on the motor block "Cascade"?

By itself, the motorbike "Cascade" is interesting to the truckers because it is compact enough, convenient for transportation. Designed mainly for working in the suburban areas, small gardens and orchards. But with all this there is a good opportunity to expand the capabilities of this motoblock due to attachments.

Installation is quite simple, most often the engine mounts "Lifan" 6.5 coincide with the factory ones and it is only necessary to replace the engine, start it and start using it. But there are cases when the mounts are slightly different. In this case, "get out of the situation" can be different.

The easiest way is to make a transition plate, in which it is necessary to make holes for the engine mounts and weld it. If there is no such opportunity simply to fasten it in regular places on a frame.

Is the "Lifan" engine suitable for the "Mole" motoblock?

On the "Mole" is set a weaker engine, with a capacity of 4 horsepower, in view of the fact that the frame of such a specimen simply does not allow the installation of a more powerful engine.

The engine for the motoblock "Mole" is much cheaper, which for many will seem only a plus. For the size of this motoblock is quite enough of this power, it copes with the main task - to plow the land. Of course, it is used in very small areas, where high power and long work are not needed.

Reviews of the engines of the company Lifan

Since the motoblocks belong to the technique of small-scale mechanization, they are popular in many countries in which people are engaged in agriculture. After all, without motoblocks, it is difficult to dig up the land on your small plot. A tractor is not always convenient and profitable, and digging by hand with a shovel is long and difficult, especially if the earth is sufficiently dense.

Engines "Lifan" for motoblocks have proven themselves really well, because they are not expensive. In addition, they do not require large investments during operation, are unpretentious in maintenance. With all this, the engines have good performance and are reliable.

Their development is, basically, the achievements of Japanese engineers. Chinese industry rarely develops something new, its own. Most often, they simply adopt the experience of their fellows, taking as a model a successful specimen. It is worth noting that such engines are often used in portable generators, for which the main criterion is precisely the reliability of the installed engine. Some even use motor blocks as a local transport, where you can transport sand, firewood or something else.

Running a new engine

In this topic, opinions vary greatly. Some advise to start and immediately operate at half capacity. Others advise to work in the idle, warm the engine. In fact, you need to do exactly as written in the manual, because it is not stupid people, but those who develop the motor and calculate its loads.

Usually running in the engine takes a long time, but if you do everything in accordance with the manual, then there should not be any problems, and in case it does, it is important to remember that this is a new engine and this means that it is under warranty. It will be replaced without problems by a new one or at least repaired.

Engine Maintenance

During operation, there should not be any significant problems in the case of a fully serviceable new engine, while it is best to check it at maximum power within the warranty period. The engine is serviced by the owner independently, although with engines "Lifan" on the motor blocks there should not be any problems with this.

If you still have problems, you need to perform a number of simple procedures, after which the engine will again work "as new":

• Replace the candles.
• Change the oil.
• Check the integrity of all connections.

No further adjustments are required, since the ignition in such engines is electronic. After doing the above, you can try to start the engine.

Motoblock repair

If suddenly it is not possible to get the engine "Lifan" installed on the motor unit, then it is necessary to perform a simple check. To do this, you need to perform a series of actions, during which you can easily identify the cause of the engine malfunction and easily eliminate it:

• Check the supply of gasoline. The motor can "grasp", but it does not start, because it produces a bad suction of gasoline from the tank. The reason may be clogging the drainage hole in the plug, which serves to get additional air into the tank, instead of the gasoline that leaves therefrom. The hose could get clogged with debris or something could get into the tank itself. It is necessary to check all possible options.
• Check the candle. If suddenly it was smoked or even broke it, it is necessary to replace it, because it can not be repaired.

After eliminating these faults, you can try to start the engine. If this does not help, then the cause must be sought in the unit itself.

How to adjust the valves?

After a certain period, it is necessary to perform the adjustment of the engine "Lifan" on the motoblock, because there are failures, that is, it starts to work incorrectly. In fact, there are not so many problems on which the unit can behave incorrectly. One of the main things is the wrong adjustment of the valves. To make it simple enough, all the works are performed in several stages:

• The valve cover is removed.
• The clearance, as a rule, is from 0.02 to 0.12 mm according to all norms, therefore it is necessary to take any measuring probe or device for accurate setting.
• Then the adjustment itself is carried out with a screwdriver and a measuring probe, which must be placed under the valve. The screwdriver, in turn, is twisted by the adjusting screw.
• After adjustment, you must return the cover to its original position.

Change of oil

Oil in the engine of the motor-block "Lifan" should be filled with quality, all-season, preferably from a good manufacturer. The replacement is quite simple. First you need to drain the old oil. Then opens a new one and is poured into the motor. It is advisable to carry out the procedure on the warmed-up engine, but at the same time it should be muffled.

The amount of oil, as well as the quality of the required oil, can be found in the instructions to the motor. It also describes in detail all the repair and maintenance activities, so problems with this should not arise.
