ive seen thousands of these on youtube and all of those indian copys suck, too loud, vibrating too much but this one is the only one i can call nice!!
Does the guy go through these engines when he gets them? I've read up about them and sometimes they can have leftover casting sand in the sump and lifter problems (some Metros have problems with lifters which won't rotate)
No, these are raw from India. If you are not a Do It Yourself kind of person you won't be happy with one of these engines anyway. However you won't find a better toy for DIY who like to work on engines.
I and a friend bought our Metros from Sam Crosby in Maine. He is good to deal with. You can find pretty much any answer you can ask on the Lister Engines forum.

I'd like to see what type of generator/alternator you are driving, and how it is mounted. I see you have 4 belts running.

It's running a heavy-durty picku alternator with a variable rheostat in place of the regulator. We just watch the voltage and adjust as needed.
Also have a 5 horse air compressor we run twice a week or so.

173 pounds sounds like an air cooled lister petter. completely different engine. these engines are around 700 pounds.

Where did you buy your engine? Seems to be pretty tough to find an honest importer of these things.
