I bought it on Ebay about 2 years ago. There was a guy that was importing them from India or China and he had a storage of them in Portland Oregon (about 60 miles from my home). They are really hard to get now, I guess because they are not EPA rated. I have read that running on bio-diesel the engines exceed EPA standards, but I have not found any more for sale in the Portland area. The engine is a blast to start, (hand crank) and just ticks along at 450 RPM. It sounds like an old grandfather clock, very relaxing to watch, with the open rocker arms and pushrods going up and down. I used a 2" wide cogbelt (timing belt) to drive the 5 KW Generator head.
