Suzuki LT80 with Honda GX engine.
If Jack is prone to apoplexy, I would suggest he stops reading here.
I had an LT80 in for repair yesterday, only a broken throttle return spring and pull start that hadn't been repaired properly, and didn't fully rewind. The difference is it has a Honda GX160 engine sat on top of the Suzuki one, yes it does go in with the Suzuki cylinder and head removed. The engine drives (I think by belt) a pulley on the right hand side of the Suzuki crankshaft. Power then seems to go via the normal CVT transmission. I'm not sure if I should think of it as a triumph of British ingenuity, or a Frankenstien's monster. However it was well executed, and ran OK, though a little down on the power of a standard LT80.
