Air cooled V-Twin

[koya]

I am ready to start on my build, does anyone have a source to get a V-Twin air cooled 25+ hp

Reckon you could start by asking after Yanmar engines at businesses that cater for landscaping & gardening. I seem to recall they reintroduced a quieter version of the V engine in recent years? It comes in two flavours, horizontal & vertically mounted versions. HP is around 20 though, not 25. You might get lucky & find a Honda GD100 V twin diesel. Not sure if they sold them Stateside though.
Happy hunting

Carroll Stream stocks them in Michigan.

But, if you want to get adventurous you could just import the turbocharged version. And take your chances.

Or supplied with a CVT

And then when you build the trike, you can order the 4 speed box with reverse.

I spoke with a sale rep the other day, the engines are in. I am not readyu to spend that much for a V-twin. trying to gauge performance of the 10 hp.
