You're absolutely right. My response to his column was only thinking about putting this design on the market.

Absolutely, you're 100% correct. American manufacturing is alive and kicking', the only problem is that people want things cheap ("but this Lifan engine is so much cheaper than the Honda engine it was designed after?

Idiotic. If it were to go into production, the smart bet is that it would be made in china. It would be made out of thin material to keep costs down. It would fail after one camping season.
