I am plagued to keep trying to understand. These AC engines are really remarkable to last as long as they do and sell for the "price point."
And exactly why I am not getting overly excited
around Kawa failure... I understand why it is so, simply wish Kawa pay more attention to what they offer as "quality" engines. They fixed their entry into the bike market, they can fix QA in the mower market.
Remember these?

Both those early AC engines were robust in service and both cost a bomb at the time. However there was little competition - Villiers made something similar as I recall - and both went by the wayside as Honda tooled up for "stationary" outside of bike successes in this Country. And why?
Still today, any small powershop or hire centre stocks only Honda as a preference. Franchises scream for Honda affiliation.
And the price has always been "right".
Beats me how they (Honda) do it.
And just as a generalisation?
This forum and others list way less "help help me Honda" posts over Kawa and Kohler or B&S.
As their sales are huge the anomaly in pleas has to say Honda is still doing it right.
And that is Global, as LMF reflects.
