Dropped this into an old log splitter that had a worn-out Briggs on it. Fit was straightforward, electric start fired on the first crank, and it's been running strong all season. Thing's a tank.
We order these for customer builds pretty regularly and this one arrived a few days later than expected, but the engine itself is exactly what we needed. Customers have been happy with it. Would order again.
works great
runs perfect
Engine is great, that's Honda for you. Shipping took a bit longer than the estimated date and I had a job waiting on it, so that was frustrating. Once it arrived everything was fine and it runs well.
