Anyone have any experiences with these engines?

wow 215 bucks? thats a hefty price for a 6.5hp clone! any clone engine is good, whatever label is slapped on the doesnt really matter

Ya I was thinking that was a bit much you got a better price? you're canadian too right? I think princess auto price is even worse.

Champions are the same thing as the yellow box stock project engines. They dont sell them with a gas tank anymore, but if you ask if they could throw one in they might. They're also going to start coming without a gov.

Are you positive on this? Pretty sure that is not true. The champions i see are on generators/water pumps as a part of the company products I.E winches etc.

I was told they both come from the same place. I could very well be wrong though. Either way they are both good engines. In terms of clone build quality they seem to be pretty well built compared to some others.

EDIT: I neglected to look at the links and they are not the champions I saw at my local Lowe's a few months ago. They changed the look. I got the champions and Ducars mixed up. Sorry for the confusion guys.

Yea i think Ducar and BSP are the two "Yellow" racing manufacturers that come with no governor or tank..

The 6.5 on my generator runs good but i haven't really looked it over to see any quality or head differences between any of the other types.
