I've had the Duromax in for a year and am very pleased with it. It's vertually the same as the Carol Stream. You might need a little jetting but otherwise they run good.

Truck-wise, I'd rather have a 318 Dodge anyday over a Chevy.... they seem to work better for me for some reason...
small engine wise; (and everything else too) I go out of my way to avoid China made product when possible. so that rules out clones.
Even tool wise, I'd rather go to a garage sale or auction and buy a 30+ year old Skilsaw or Milwaukee power tool, than to go to Lowes and buy something new and China-made;
and whatever it is, if it's "rebuildable" I'm more likely to take something apart and fix what's wrong, than throw a way and buy new; if that's how I gotta do things to have American made product, that's what I'd rather have..... Canadian is just the same. (but that's the only ones I feel are "the same") they are still part of North America.....
