hi, just building a road tow splitter useing a 8hp petter diesel engine[hand start x dumper engine]only down side is that its a heavy lump of engine.Fuel wise about 3/4 gallon per 8 hours !.

I had 8 yanmar 2 TNE engines . I sold a few Not sure whats left. They sold for £650 ea, would they be any good. I think they were 2cy water cooled 11hp at 3000 rpm . They were fitted to gensets so the engine should be able to run at 3600 rpm which should gain your extra hp. Diesel has better torque so you may not need 13hp. I am thinking of fitting one to my splitter but have not had time to find out about bell housings and couplings etc.

Got this Lombardini but its probably overkill for what you want.

[windfall]

how much do you want for that, and can you stick it on a pallet?

Found this one at an Autrian company, there might be an importer in the Uk.

The bell housing on that lombo should be a standard sae and will fit other engines ( may even fit my yanmars ) The engine should not be miles oversize
