ZONGSHEN 625CC engine
http://www.zongshenpower.com/upload/...4/PH13500E.pdf
here is a link to a manual for a generator that uses the 625cc engine that Vegas Carts is selling. Its mostly a users manual for the generator but it contains some helpful information on this mystery engine. It has a Low oil sensor It holds 1.4 liter oil which is 49.27305 oz Hope to one day put this engine in my CC DS in place of the 460 I have in it now. Its taken me hours to find any information on this engine. It was tough but I persisted :-) |

Re: ZONGSHEN 625CC engine
Thanks David. Just tonight I was wondering how to find any information at all on the engine. Info is scarce right now.
With the dipstick in the cylinder end of the block a low oil level or tilted engine could certainly trigger the shutdown. Especially if the engine is tilted down at the cylinder end. Good find David. |

I'm looking for the same for the 460 and have been for a while but to no avail. There are others selling the 460 engine in various stages of race ready but I can't find the manufactures information on the engine yet. I'll keep looking though Knowledge is good |

I'm thinking at some point this 625 will be sold as a built engine with billet rods, torque or rpm cams, the whole works also. All I know for sure is VC sells some awesome products and I will continue to be a supporter of theirs over any of the other suppliers. My engine hasn't as much as hiccuped yet. Get on, turn the switch on, pull the choke, hit the gas pedal and by the time I'd think maybe I'll hear it turn over its running, first compression stroke. Sweet engine. I wish I could watch some of their videos but so far all I've found are the ones where they're racing the carts outside of their manufacturing plant. I don't/won't do facebook I'm an old man with COPD who loves hunting for edible mushrooms, the fun kind back in my day but thats a topic for another story. If my cart goes down on me on some of my jaunts it very well may be a death sentence for me due to my health. No Cell phone service in most of that area to make matters even worse. I'm 100% sure if my cart lays down on me it won't be the engine. Something I wasn't so sure about with the old flathead engine I took out. With this 460 if either my brother or myself has an issue and need to get our azzes back we can do it in a right now hurry |

Re: ZONGSHEN 625CC engine
The 460 is a Geoff creation. It is basically a bored and stroked 420. And according to the story Geoff has the exclusive rights to the 10 bolt HD block in the USA. If this is absolute fact my guess is that he sells this block to the clone race engine builders such as NR,Bullfrog,and ARC. Bullfrog has a 500 cc version that seems to be a further bored 460 10 bolt block.

I know even though its 30 degrees out I can go out to the shop, turn the switch on, pull the choke out, hit the gas pedal and this engine will fire up on its first compression stroke. In a few seconds it'll sit there and idle all day long if I want it to. Awesome engine, this 460 |

Re: ZONGSHEN 625CC engine
We still don't know much though. The Zongshen generator model 12000 shows the engine model 2V78... which is a Lifan V-twin engine model number.
