518-H Onan failed, would like to find a twin kohler to replace

[nekovt 0]

Hello! I had my reliable Onan 18HP twin cylinder break a connecting rod. I always felt there was something wrong because it was shaking badly ever since I bought it two years ago. I can push the non working cylinder back in so it's not frozen up.

 

Either way, I would much rather see if there's anyone out there who could help me find a twin cylinder Kohler or another engine to repower this 518-H that I really like. 

 

I live in Vermont and would be drive somewhere. Also, I'm happy to swap away this Onan engine after I get a new one or partially for another one. 

 

Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
