16hp clone with lights?

[countstevula]

Can anyone recommend a decent big clone for me? Must run lights and charge battery. Saw some 16hp clones out there, but if they do have a charging system, it's measly. Doesn't have to be 16 hp, but must be 1" shaft. Help!

i think they make a 16hp duramax or powermax

You might have to buy and add-on the Honda coil separately if you want to have enough amps to both charge a battery and run lights. When I priced a Predator 420cc engine (on sale) with the Honda 20 amp coil it was less than buying the closest equivalent Honda with the 20 amp coil installed already (not sure if the 10 amp coil is cheap enough to go with that over the 20 amp, I figured if I had to do the work to install the coil, I'd get the highest amps I could get). You could also use an external alternator off of a small car depending on your application, how much room you have, etc.

A crank can be put on a lathe and spun down to 1" and re-keyed.
