Hey I thought these didn't exist anymore

the added expense on these engines i likely justified by the addition of the flywheel housing and other bits that
the earlier offerings didn't have?

seems like  a heck of a buy to me.

I would imagine those 2011 EPA and california certifications also have something to do with the increased cost:)

Fabbing a stubshaft to an outboard bearing to belt drive a generator dosn't seem all that complicated... The flywheel configuration appears to give you a few options.

1800 rpm is to slow for that 2 cylinder engine. If it was a three cylinder engine it would be a different story. Hayes makes bearing supported a stub shaft kit that will mount on that housing and flywheel assembly.

Run that engine around 2600 rpm and it will do fine.

Just got a quote from Hays. $561.61, 3-4 week lead time.
