A few years ago I gave my son an old tiller to work up his small garden spot, the Briggs motor finally played out.
so he bought a new Harbor Freight, Predator 6.5 HP (212cc) OHV Horizontal Shaft Gas Engine EPA.
we installed the new engine this weekend, a couple of pulls and it ran like a song.
let it run a while then he took the tiller to the garden for a trial run, it pulled the old tiller fine.
I wanted him to get a replacement Briggs and Stratton engine, but it cost about twice as much as the Predator engine.
later we were at a hardware store, that also rents tools. They had a couple of tillers in their rental line, with Honda engines.
I do not know how china got by with it, but the china made Predator engine looks almost exactly like the Honda engine. I am sure the Predator may not be quality of the Honda engine, but it is almost and exact copy.
later in the day he started the engine up again and it ran fine, for the price he is satisfied. For around $20 he got an extra 2 year extended warranty. (they said any problems, just bring it back and we will give you another one).
He was a happy camper, just waiting for spring plowing.
