Sounds like it maybe an outsourced "Harbor Freight" style clone engine (Generac just put their name on it). A lot of companies are doing that these days.

There are some wild engineering copies being used to minimize production costs and maximize profits. The quality is in the toilet, but the retail prices keep going up.

All of the single cylinder engines used on Generac products are rebranded engines. The V-twin is the only Generac built engine.

Hi Scrubcadet10,

I have notice that Generac and DR trimmer along with others have been adding a bunch of consumer product lines. Competition is getting tougher for a lot of companies to carry much more than their same old stuff.

Just in case you weren't aware Generac owns DR.
