generic of Honda. they retail about half the cost and are just as reliable. And parts for Honda are 100% interchangeable

[sideways]

honda clones are copies of (usually) the honda gx 160, they are overhead valve and produce 6.5hp and do 3600rpm(when they are stock that is, they dont tend to remian standard for very long hehehe) there are millions of different names for brand names for them.

this is what they look like, they come in different colours to this aswell

Yeah order at harbor freight and pull the governor once you get it. So order a sidecover gasket or some silicone when you buy the motor (if u buy it)

 

[1992suburban]

dont need side cover gasket NOR silicone just took out my gov'na tonight during my first oil change

Fired it up afterwards NO LEAKS>> just be careful reuse the gasket..

 

[solomon]
