What the Tuatara Machinery filings say about the engines
Tuatara Machinery has filed only fuel-injected engines: 8 certificate rows and no carburettors at all, so a jet kit is the wrong search for any of them.
The engine codes on Tuatara Machinery's test vehicles —just one across the filings — are led by SQR371F. The code is stamped on the crankcase and is a better search term than the badge.
None of the 8 filings is a 50-state certification: these were sold as 49-state machines, not certified for California.
Rated power across the range runs from 51 kW to 65 kW (about 68 to 87 hp).
The vehicle builder named on every row is Guangxi Qinzhou Lishun Machinery Co., Ltd.
Each figure is read straight off the EPA certificate rows; the per-family pages below carry the full breakdown for every engine family.
