"If you want an engine that sips Gas This is it. I have a tree business and have one on a Lift, And it will run about 6 hours on a tank of gas, I have never run out in a day so I Can't give exact amount but It is nice to not check it every hour or so. Easy to start, mine has electric choke set-up on it which makes it easy to start from up top if needed. Only thing I would change is the 3 amp charging system, honda makes a 10 amp for this motor but you will not find it even close to this price. (I wish Northern would carry it) So if 3 is good for you, go for it. The specs sheet shows .63 oil capacity. My manual shows 1.16 US Qts. Maybe it has changed, but .63 is not much. Low oil sentry is good even though I have no idea if mine works as it uses just a touch a oil And I keep it topped off. If you order it, the Maint. kit they suggest shows a flat Air filter and Mine takes the oval one shown by itself. Northern seams to do OK stocking replacement parts, as This engine was neglected before me, and needed some attention, but only carb seals, filters, plug, And fuel lines, Bottom Line, This one has converted me from B & S Just for the fuel savings Alone."
