It seems most places have them too.

When they first came out, they were only selling the 6.5hp model, and I asked my friend that worked there about how these hold up.Is that because they are popular, or because they don’t sell (like, are definitely unpopular)?
He said a local well tender bought 30 of them for small pumpjacks, and only 2 were were bad, and they replaced them no problem.
They pretty much run all the time, and were working well.
They sometimes don't have them in stock, they used to go on sale for $99, now IIRC they go for $129 on sale/coupon.
The schools buy them them in bunches for their mechanical classes.Is that because they are popular, or because they don’t sell (like, are definitely unpopular)?
I have bought a lot of them for various things, seem to be a Honda clone.
In 5 or 10 years they haven't failed.
You can get them in flathead or a hemi, $99 when on sale.

The Saga continues.
Did i Mention loads of people on line showing good stocks then having to refund you as they are drop shipped fro Hyundai as they haven't any?
So that lost a week.
3rd Engine A+ graded delivered and supposedly immaculate and tested as fully working with 12 month warranty.
Recoil starter bashed in to engine casing so fan won't turn, no more in stock
I dispare!
They are checking to see if they can find the parts to send to me to fix it.
On another note the torque convertor arrived so tried it on the engine, fits well but alloy casting is cracked around the webs.
Awaiting a reply from the seller.
I think Kwai Fong Racing is more apt than ever
And yes the tables still in the van

I think this will end up as a sticker on the bike
When I worked for a generator firm, we got a high percentage of calls from Hyundai owners with problems. Often the units were still under Warranty, but they weren't getting any joy from the Importer/Distributors.
We wouldn't touch them (stuff that cheap & chocolate is a recipe for grief - Labour would outstrip the value fast, & we couldn't guarantee a proper fix on a poor quality item).
As you can see - I'm not a fan, based on my accidental straw-poll of others problems with them.
(Ones we did see come in [where the boss hadn't thought to ask what the machine was before agreeing to look at it] - lot's of failed alternators, but the engines didn't exactly inspire either)
