First let me say that I am not trying to push these things. I only posted it as a cheap repower possibility. I'm not a big fan of China crap putting US workers out of a job. That said I did a little digging about the V-Twin and it is a pressure lube system with a cooler and a filter. They use the same engine in a generator that they sell so I down loaded the manual for it and looked at the parts. I have a Northern Tool Chonda on my tow behind Bush Hog flail mower, so far it's been good but then again it doesn't get much use. For something that will get limited use that you don't want to spend a lot of $$$$ on these seem to fit the bill. If it's going to be run hard and you want a long life then I'd go for a Kohler or a Vanguard.
