I would say with almost 100% certainty, that the engines you are referring to are actual clones of the true Robin engine...the Predator comes to mind.
While looking very similar on the outside, I would strongly speculate they are nowhere near the quality inside.
What I love about Subaru/Robin, is if I have a tech question, I can make a phone call and speak to someone about the motor, and order parts if necessary...thats how I replaced the rod and piston in my older Powermate generator.
Gotta love that service.
If Robin engines go away, it will be a very sad day.
