Yep I have one and that’s pretty much true. 48 HP with no real power band the torque is there at all throttle positions above 5000 RPM. 50 hours between rebuilds and the rebuild is pretty simple some guys in the UK are running 100 hours and still competitive. The down side is it’s a $7000 engine and the US importer leaves a lot to be desired. And that’s part of my prefrence to honda. When you have plenty of sources for parts your not forced to deal with a bad one. Many that have Aixro here in the US deal with people in the UK rather than the dealer/distributor in south FL.
