Honda Australia themselves? if they got any more useless, they'd be telling me to buy a cheap knockoff from china.

How hard can it be to have a chart listing engine models breaking things down by shaft size & length, and then which options?

Surely its not difficult to imagine that theres someone out there thats used a vertical shaft Honda engine for something other than a lawnmower?

All I need is a *genuine* Honda vertical shaft motor with a 25mm straight shaft that measures 80mm from engine mounting face to end of shaft.

Grrrrr.... about ready to tell my guy to go buy an electric mower like he's thinking about.
This one seems to have the shaft you are looking for -
