Does anyone have experience ordering cheap engines or parts from Alibaba? I'm thinking about ordering a small diesel engine through them because every god damn single-cylinder engine in America is overpriced.
This thing seems ideal, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, 13hp, about what I'm looking for, except not stupid overpriced.

Aren't they like $150 when they're on sale at harbor frought?
the weak 4-6hp ones maybe. but I can't find a Yanmar or similar online for $400 or less.
In fact, I'll add that I can't even find diesel engines on Harbor Freight's website.
I'm assuming their unit prices are before shipping (most definitely) and before they charge customs handling fees and shit.
I feel like getting a shitty diesel motor to the US would involve getting it through customs without being suspect as a NOX spewing EPA nightmare.
if i have to guess, they ship it by sea, which could take a while (weeks)
Ive never had the guts to deal with them personally. Give it a shot. Give us some feedback
This is down to burger emissions laws.
You may be able to order these but it won't get through customs. You have to order parts then build the thing locally on the quiet.
These things get imported as compressors which they are but with the addition of parts they can be turned into an engine.
