Some progress
Drive bushing installed and pulley mounted.
Motor mounts made.
Test fit for engine position.
Test fit for hood.

Lots of room to work with.

The hood will be repaired (previous owner made this cutout for the Kohler)

You will always have those with problems. I have been using a 6hp predator power washer and it runs great. So for the price I thought I would give big bother a chance.
I read reviews on everything (especially high price) and never read a review on anything where everyone was happy.

Concerning reviews, the majority of reviewers are the ones who have had problems with the product and want to share their outrage. The satisfied users are usually the silent majority. I tend to take reviews with a grain of salt, sometimes two grains.
