Why not just add another 225 quid and get a genuine honda which is set up with twin feed (the way it should be)?
Also from a UK seller so you won't have to mess about trying to get it back to ireland if it goes wrong

Re o/p . It would be good (Loncin make engines for BMW!) but give Damien the extra £150 for the above reasons.

twin feeds because im assuming its a 21lpm pump (i havent looked at the link) and it needs twin water feeds to male max flow.

I bought a Loncin powered engine around 12months ago.
It's been given a lot of abuse and worked very hard and it still started great with zero problem. They are a good engine but it will never be a Honda.

The 2 year warranty on the engine is great but you would also have to ship it to Ireland which would be a pita. I also did at the time of buying and still do now worry about the engine dying and tool shops/hire shops refusing to look at it because of it not being big name like Honda, yanmar, b&s etc

twin water feed,       uses a lot more water quickly,    may be too big if its your first washer.    no problem if you have a big enough water butt,    200+  with a continuous water feed , fitted ball cock,    just get fittings from local plumbers hardwear.      I set my water but up cost £12.    all I need is customers,  had 2 since I got setup.   dropped 2000 flyers off.      pray for a  few good dry months      ::)roll
