yeah, i looked at some of the Honda engines, there quite nice and new models seem to be priced reasonably. Kawasaki as well. The only reason I had mentioned the B&S, was for simplicity, of just buying cheap, and using that particular engine from a riding lawn mower or snow blower specifically(horizontal shaft). I've bought some products before that were cheaper overall, buying the entire product than just a single part.
There's an 11hp 8500Watt Generator (Troy Built brand) for like $550. would be cheaper doing that then buying the engine out-right. 306cc i believe, seems like it might have more use on a home built 4-wheeler or small single-person faired bike type project.
Maybe i'll just have to break down and take a chance on my own project when/if it comes time i have some spare cash.
