Awesome,

August 30, 2010

By SkiUtah

from American Fork, UT

"I've been servicing and installing small to large engines for over 25 years and these Honda engines continue to amaze me. I just replaced this engine for a customer on a plate compactor. Even though his old Honda failed a compression leak test, it still ran (albeit not that well) to finish a job. The new engine is wonderful. The OHV's are great to work on when needed. Carburetor is straight forward and very simple. Not much can go wrong with these when they are taken care of."

The Best,

March 16, 2009

By Den123

from Mass

"When the engine let go on my log splitter, I had to fine a new one. The old one was realy loud. It had no controls for the rate the engine ran. One speed fast. This Honda is not only quieter, but it comes with speed control and a good chock. Plus it fit just fine on my log splitter. No fuss and all questons were answered by the person who helped me buy it."

Honda GX,

November 30, 2008

By WinWoodchuck

from California

"This is not the first Honda GX series I have ordered and used from Northern Tool, it might be the third or fourth, maybe more over the ten, fifteen or more years we have been doing a very satisfactory business together.
I find this GX160 well suited for my wood splitter. I find them dependable, gas efficient and durable.
This old splitter is over 20 years old. I have repaired it several times but each time I need a motor I use Honda's. I also keep a spare engine on hand as the one on this splitter now has had years of use, but still going strong.
These GX Series engines are well designed tough little engines that start easy and have plenty of power to bust the big hard oak and eucalyptus rounds I split."

Superb Small Engines: Honda,

November 18, 2008

By Tecton

from San Jose, CA

"For powered equipment--tillers, splitters, mowers, etc.--a Honda engine is a quality investment that pays a return via a prolonged life of use. The engines run smooth and steady. I have several engines in various pieces of equipment. Even after years of use and after seasonal storage, they start up for me on the first pull for the first use of a seasonal workout and that's no exaggeration. For reliability year after year, their dependebility doesn't get much better than that. I like the design too: placement of the fuel tank, set-up for maintenance, in a compact package as well."

Honda air cooled engine,

August 11, 2008

By shotguner

from East Hampton Ct.

"I've had verry good luck with the honda's . They oul last other brands, run quieter , use less fuel , start easier .etc. We run hondas in most of our mixers primemovers (walk behind forklifts) pressurewashers etc. At least 40 machines. Only drawback is their difficult to ad oil to in most applications with out a long funnel."
