Earl,
YEs sirree, they are Chinese copies...very poor quality, and with no parts avaiable...read that as ...if you loose the oil filler plug...you cabbot replace it ....ZERO parts. The Chinese have observed that there are alot of very short life engines sold in the USA, and they have decided to participate in this market...life expectancy about 200 hours. They figure there is no need for parts. PLus, since many of the threaded holes are hand drilled, they simply cannot supply parts because there is no interchangeability among there own engines. A sump cover taken from one engine wont fit on another...I tried this... Let the buyer beware!
There is a law suit Filed by American Honda against jiangsu,,,or however you spell it that has to do with them useing Hondas name and trademarked logos.
