Water Injection for Industrial V-Twins
Snow performance has a water injection digital control unit that works with the EFI mapping (ECU) to control the water injection so maybe a good candidate for the EFI version of kohler engine which use Delphi EFI ECU unit. Carb version engines maybe more challenging to install water injection...- soupercooper

Aeromarine 60hp V-Twin Engine
it may not be even worth importing engines from china on a very small scale like I did (1 each), add shipping, brokerage, customs, warehouse handling, tariffs, taxes fees once arriving at USA port are passing the cost of the engine itself!! and in the end AFTER paying all these fees (well over...- soupercooper

Aeromarine 60hp V-Twin Engine
looks like gaokin engines restructuring their product line and obsoleted the 800cc and other sizes for WITHOUT CVT and gearbox option(snowmobile version). looks like only available now are WITH CVT and gearbox(motorcycle/UTV version) which will not work in aircraft application, i believe all...- soupercooper

TiPi: I see your B & S uses a diaphragm pulse fuel pump just like the Kohler but Kohler places the pump right on top of Rocker cover where B& S is mounted off to the side but pulls the pulse (plumbs) from the rocker cover as well , my question is, if we incorporate your breather location idea...- soupercooper
