Good power, but too easily broken, April 21, 2008
By moohead from Prince George, CANADA

"As the other review said, it breaks on the plastic there. Other than that it is good. This was bought for a school, and i do maintenance on the school. This was required for a lawn mower (as a replacement for a class, old one was siezed) I fashioned a new top, and it works well now."

Honda Engine, April 21, 2008
By GEC70121tw from New Orleans, LA

"The Honda engine seems to run quieter, be more powerful, and start easier and more reliable than the others I have tried. It is a well made product, and according to other people I KNow that have tried them, the maintenance is less costly and less frequently needed than others as well."

June 9, 2007
By Cameron from Orangevale California

"bought this engine to put on an older snapper metal deck hi vac lawn mower the engine performs very well but the plastic piece that houses the pull cord is not up to snuff. the meatal cord guide pulled out after about th tenth pull and from then on the cord started cutting into the plastic and has made a mess of starting the mower. If it wasn't for this one low quality part this would have been a 5 star rateing."
