The bad point regarding the smaller industrial engines is the power-to-weight ratio, but some 3-cylinder water-cooled ones from Lombardini/Kohler and that rebadged Daihatsu once sold by Briggs & Strattons are not bad options at all. There is also that Perkins-designed Caterpillar C1.1 rated at 28hp, but I'd still take a look at a Kohler or that Daihatsu. You may also consider the engine out of a Kawasaki Mule or that Polaris Ranger. BTW are you considering to test WVO and other alternative fuels too?
