Pretty sure that is a Yancheng Talos engine rebranded for Duromax. Contact their office in Jiangsu, China for starter parts purchase information. Maybe they can help you! Everything looks identical besides the signature DuroMax weird shaped blue tins. Horsepower by the original manufacture was rated at 19.5HP not 20
In most cases they are. Especially in the new Kohler and Briggs. The 440cc Duromax has proven itself over and over. Hopefully this has the same heritage.
I'm surprised they keep making single cylinder engines in +2hp variants. It doesn't seem to makes financial sense to do a total redesign to gain 2 horsepower and produce an engine that has (likely) no performance part support. Maybe they had a generator head design that needed just a little more oomph, so they designed this engine to go with it? Now, they offer the engine without the generator to open the market to other use cases?
I kind of feel like the go kart community has become more obsessed with shinny Bill-It parts and aluminum wheels whereas I much prefer the mud mowers and the conduit framed go karts built of old motors and harbor freight esqe wheels that it heralded from. Seems to have gone almost snobbyish like hot rods. Sorry, got off on a tangent in agreement with your initial analysis there.
Now is your chance to make a different type of video try this modified a bicycle to except the 500cc or the 713cc that would be awesome and please record the speed on a blacktop road it was you that taught me how to bypass all those safety bs things so I could keep my lawn tractor going thank you by the way 😊

What an excellent series of videos you've done on these engines! A wealth of new engine info! Keep up the good work! Much respect!
I was talking today with Cody at Duromax we talking about your knowledge of duromax and pretty much everything. Keep up the great work man !!
I still fall back on the time you said: "single cylinder engines over 15 hp are ticking time bombs."
In most cases they are. Especially in the new Kohler and Briggs. The 440cc Duromax has proven itself over and over. Hopefully this has the same heritage.
Interesting and informative 👍
Adding the electric start will add some weight too

Fully agreed.
Typed in the carburetor part number and guess what it brings up...a Honda carburetor or a Champion carburetor LOL.
Milage guess for your Ranger, 544k.
It should be about 80 lbs that is with oil and fuel
77 prolly with gas and oil my guess
Is it dual fuel as well?
Right now it looks to be only the 439cc for a dual fuel big block. But will add that to the questions list to send them.
400000
