Living up to Honda quality expectations,

February 24, 2010

By DocG

from Northern New Jersey

"The Honda Horizontal Engine — 160cc, 3/4in. x 2 7/16in. Shaft, Model# GC160AQHA is a great little engine that just won't quit. I bought it as a replacement engine for my log splitter and it outperforms the 11HP motor that was on it hands down. It performs flawlessly regardless of the temperature and starts as well at 5 degrees as it does at 80 degrees. This season, we split more than 10 cords of oak maple and ash and my Honda engine only quit when it ran out of gas. It is by far my most valuable asset in heating my home."

Great engine,

February 15, 2010

By youngie

from Huntingdon ,PA

"I bought this for a log splitter I was building and it works great! It starts easily and runs without a hitch. Lots of power and I am expecting years of service.
It needs a muffler deflector and that is a part from Honda only. A small hastle for a great engine."

Nice engine,

from Sidney Ohio

"I installed this engine on an old log spliter that had a briggs 5 horse on it. The old engine needed rebuilt. I priced rebuilging it and for the cost it was just as cheap to buy the honda. I am very pleased with this purchase and the engine is working fine on the log spliter. The transfer was smooth and everything bolted up and fit nicely. No modifications were needed. I would recommend this motor."

Replacement for tiller engine,

March 16, 2009

By rgerh913

from Salina Kansas

"Used the Honda 160cc engine to replace a worn out B&S 5hp. The Honda costs less uses less gas and starts easy. It also has very low noise or vibration compared to the B&S engine.

bolted the engine on and did not have to modify the engine or frame it in any way.
works very well."

Should of known its a HONDA,

December 18, 2008

By sawbone

from Crosby, Tx.

"I ordered this engine to replace my 12 year old GC-160 on my log splitter, ( which I may add I got 2nd hand). The old engine had been rode hard and put up wet, but never fell to start. My splitter had been loaned out and misused. After been gone for 3 years I finally got it back. Bad gas and misuse caused me to order a new GC-160 5 hp Honda to replace to old one. While waiting 5 days to get the new one in I cleaned the carberator on the old one and you guessed it, it started on the 1st pull.
When I got the new one in I had reservations about it because it didn't have an adjustable throttle,( set at 3600 RPM's). I went ahead and put it on anyway. First pull it started and after warming up I pushed it off choke and I never looked back. Been splitting wood everyday and I runs like a dream. Don't hesitate get one while they are at this price. Price is right and shipping was on time. You get a shipping number where you can track it every move to your door step.
Oh you ask what I did with the old one? I'm putting it on an old Yazoo self propelled lawnmower. Its split its last block of wood. It deserves a break!!!"

Great engine!!,

By Lawman884

"I would recommend this engine to anyone wanting an economical, but reliable engine. It always starts on the first pull. Works great on a pressure washer where you don't need to adjust the throttle."

Great little engine!,

November 18, 2008

By Flyrod

from Hayward, Wisconsin

"I bought this engine to replace a worn out engine on a portable log splitter that I overhauled. It was very easy to install and started on the second pull. It is relatively quiet, lightweight and effortlessly pushes the hydraulic cylinder. My "new" splitter works like a charm. I have no hesitation in recommending this great little engine."
