What is this?
I have acquired an atv with a Chang liquid cooled motor. Can’t find any name plates or markings to identify brand, nor have I seen one like it on internet. Seen plenty of the engines, but no atvs. Any ideas what I have? Engine is a cd2p78mv
Not tech savvy, can’t figure out how to add pics from my tablet. Was successful in adding pics to Thumper Talk, but can’t figure this one out. Last edited by Docwho64; 09-13-2020 at 07:18 PM. Reason: Add pics |

If it's the same one, that's insanely cool. It almost looks like a hoax, but it looks real, looking closer. I have no clue, but I'm fairly certain it's not a liquid cooled engine. Links to your thread on thumper talk?

Response to all.
This is no hoax, and it’s the same one on Craig’s list. Definitely a Chinese engine has a radiator and heads are liquid cooled. No decals on bike, no badges anywhere, no plaques except on engine and it has exact same numbers as stamped on block. This is not an engine swap, this is how it was built. If you run the engine numbers it comes upas a Chang Jiang, but all they show are motorcycles. The only history I have been able to get is that these engines were used by the people’s army in China on their military bikes, then refurbished and installed in new frames for public sale.
Oh, by the way, that cable in the photo is the clutch cable. |

Are you selling it, or did you buy it from that ad? What are you looking for? This is the sort of arcane thing that I'm expecting you won't find out much about, but there's a guy on here, @humanbeing , who might know about these.
How does it run? It seems like it might be a handful. |

No worries. I haven't been able to post pics either lately.

I don't know a lot about them but the engine was/is used in copies of motorcycles with side cars. Do a Google image search for "Chinese BMW sidecar" and you'll see your engine. Here's an example:

That's generally true, but the CJ750 (Chang Jiang) outfit, to the best of my knowledge, never came with liquid-cooled heads, which this one has, apparently.

Dirtbkr188 found my answer, 2002 nanchang aircraft Ming.co it has the Chang engine which the company acquired. It rare to the extent that it was converted to have liquid cooled heads,
Yes, that is my post on Craig’s list to sell, but I am seriously thinking of keeping it now since it’s so unusual. Thing is definitely a handful to ride! Very fast, lots of power. Now I have to find a rear master cylinder replacement, or retrofit one to work if I keep it. Already had to retrofit the fuel lines, peacock leaked like a sieve! Wouldn’t shut off fuel either. Took a brass tee and spliced into the line that goes from one side of the tank to the other in the rear where it goes over the frame, and placed an in line shut off and fuel filter in the line to carbs, and capped the old peacock. |

Curious, is it 650cc or 750cc? Either way, I believe it when you say it's a handful.
