Just buy a 6.5hp. Seriously, that kit is $129. You could buy a HF engine for less and if you have some cash to spare, buy some upgrades. Then you have a genuine Honda engine that you can pull parts from and install into your own engine. That would be the economical way to go but if you want to fix the gx, thats fine. My HF engine is mounted on my race kart and it goes about 45-50mph with absolutely no mods. Its amazing.

I am not an engine guy so I cannot help. Sorry friend I would be as lost as you are for sure. I say Get a HF engine. Save the original engine though.

Does the harbor freight motors come with everything on them or do they just sell the block that i would take my parts and install them onto that? also does harbor freight sell the upgrades to the motor?

HF engine are complete running engines out of the box. Just add oil and gas. HF does not sell parts for the engine.
