Engines?

Honda GXH50...Staton-inc.com
http://www.staton-inc.com/Details.asp?ProductID=3567

Be advised that this engine needs an expensive custom adaptor and clutch to adapt it to fit friction drive, chain and belt drives.

Tanaka 47R...no longer available from manufacturer and online. I have been trolling online for this engine for months with no success.

Here's an excellent Tanaka engine that members here seem to like:

Northern Tool has the Honda 50 for about $340.00

Most people think the 50cc engine from a gasoline powered auger and water pump that's sold by Harbor Freight is a Chinese clone of the Mitsubishi TLE 43. I have one and am well pleased with it. The engine can be had from monster scooter for about $120.00

Hope this helps a little anyway !

I have the TLE 43 motor from Staton (bought one of the last ones) and it is a very nice piece.

If you ever run across one- I highly suggest it.
