2 things I love about it
-fuel tank is large (1.5lt I think) interesting to how it compares to your Kohler for fuel economy. Mine goes for weeks before filling.
-solid air filter like you’d find on a car.
Let us know how you get on with it ;)

Yes, 1.5lt fuel tank on GXV engines. I do like the Kohler's wider fuel cap opening better though. The Kohler is a slightly larger engine at 173 cc compared to the 163cc Honda, will be interesting to see what the fuel use is like. And yes, the air filter is a nice unit.
Have you upped the revs on the HRU? Also, out of interest, does your engine have the same build location sticker on the back of the fuel tank?
