It doesn’t seem like there is an amazing value generator wise when considering price, noise, fuel consumption, output etc.
Is it crazy to think a Honda engine in the b/d/f/h/k series sitting on a simple metal stand and connected to a belt driven power head would provide all of the above? Generally a D-series motor has been cheap and readily available and provides plenty of power for a 10-15kw power head essentially at idle.
Advantages being insane reliability, water cooling, quiet operation, low fuel consumption at a low RPM and readily available parts.
Where am I going wrong? I figure something like this in a shed would be a solid choice, especially if you can just wait for a great deal to come along.
