On my buggy the engine is a VX-18 made by vertex, by chungyang industries. They claim to make Mugen stuff. http://www.chungyang.com.tw/e/e.htm
It's starting to lose compression. It's only had a gallon or so through it but I think the reason it's dying is because I never oiled the air filter (stupid thing to do I know). Any ways, I wanted to know if I should buy the same engine or invest in an OS or the like that will fit it.
The engine runs very well, about 50 MPH tops with stock everything, and it's pretty easy to tune. It's just that after 5 minutes or so of running, it like to stall at idle and not start until it cools, and when you yank the starter it turns over really easy.
Edit: I can't find the dimensions anywhere, so I sent in an inquiry to the company. They look like a pretty decent lot, so I should get a reply. Asked them for dimensions and specs for the engine.
