Has anyone noticed or did I miss something?

I bought a 5K generator with a blown engine and didn't even think about it. I was going to replace the engine with a Yanmar knock off but when I went to get one they are no longer for sale.

My (bust my b****) Harbor Freight salesman said they had to pull them from the shelves because of EPA regs.

Did I miss something in the last year? Seriously, its been political as hell but I did not see single cylinder diesel engines going away.

Semper Fi everyone

Re: Has anyone noticed or did I miss something?

Steve, I haven't heard anything about those engines. Maybe the Chinese version didn't pass current requirements and had to be pulled. Have you considered a gasoline option? Generators generally offer a 5k in gas or diesel. Maybe the generators manufacturer can tell you what your options are. I'm sure the original Yanmar diesel would be much more than a used 5k is worth. I'm not sure how much credence I would put in info from a Harbor freight sales person.
