If the 35s a 992cc generac,I'd pass..those engines have a very spotty reliability history and parts are not easy to find and get quickly.Early versions threw rods thru the block often (red valve cover ) 30hp, the later version 32hp was supposed to fix all that but many of those too threw rods,the latest black shroud version i don't know about but that engine has large internals in a tiny crank case,which i believe is part of the problem...I'd avoid that engine altogether. .Supposedly they work well in a genset where they fire and immediately run to 3600 and stay there that's what they were designed for not a variable throttle engine. .much like the old 2 stroke Detroit diesels,they were one of 5 best stationary engines every made ,they'd run forever at a steady 1825rpm,but put one in an over the road truck and they wouldn't last nearly as long.
