  • So far runs like a champ
Size: 212cc Manual Start
Was skeptical at first, however decided to take the chance. Arrived relatively soon and was packaged pretty well for shipping. Came just as photo appears. Started within one or two pulls, did have a noise in lower end that was concerning and sounded like if the motor was over revved would come apart, could be reason for the one review I seen. I let idle for a good while and as it broke in the sound dissipated to completely gone. Afterwards I applied more throttle to it and installed the torque converter. All seemed to go well, starts real easy and idles very well and ran it a full speed for a short while. I also did not think the vibration was really that bad for a small engine. I think where "some" of the mixed reviews is they are not giving enough break-in time. Just like any new motor comes with no oil and not broken in. So you have to take your time and add the new oil, just over a half a quart and I added some mystery in there just cause, may void a warranty but I will take the risk. Let it idle and keep at low RPM until it has time to break-in. Would have given 5 stars but hesitant since it has only had a an hour of run time and the throttle is really stiff on it. Did get a little better with some use but still I will need to go in there and loosen it up before it can be used. Does take the UNF bolts from the converter if that helps anyone. Update: it has been a minute since I left this, but the engine has been on the cart and had several hard running hours on it. It has done awesome, I loosened the throttle screw and throttles just fine. I think it is just set stiff since not all will be used this way. Great little motor, we let it brake in and changed oil and has been running hard for a week or so and doing great. ... show more

  • Great value motor

This is a great motor for the price. Put it on my wood splitter over a year ago and it runs great every time.

  • Great bargain!
Size: 212cc Manual Start
I bought this to use on my old Brave logsplitter, as the 30+ year old Briggs finally gave up the ghost. I was dubious, but the price between this and a new brand-name motor was nearly $500! It installed easily, even though one of the pump bracket holes stripped out. Aside from that, it was a seamless installation. It starts right up, usually on the first pull. It runs the splitter great, with power to spare. Oil changes are easy. I have nothing bad to say about this motor, and would buy it again. ... show more

  • Great little engine Great little engine
Size: 212cc Manual Start
I ordered this for my Coleman CT200U-EX because HF was out of Predator Engines within 100 miles of me and this had a two day delivery and i kind of like the color. Plus it got good reviews. But after shipping was delayed twice on this engine, I was able to locate a Predator 224 at my local HF. I installed it and was very pleased with it's performance, but I had already painted my bike blue in anticipation of the Built Hard Engine and the Predator didn't look the great. Then this guy finally showed up and I swapped it in. Started first pull, is a little quieter than the Predator, and seems to perform just as well as the 224. Plus it looks great. Very happy with this purchase so far and would not hesitate to buy another if needed for another project. ... show more

  • Awesome replacement engine Awesome replacement engine
Size: 212cc Manual Start
It's a great engine. I had a different brand engine on this tiller that had extremely low service hours on it but I failed to take adequate precautions and allowed the carburator to totally rust up. Ordered this last March and didn't actually get around to installing it until last fall. Just left it setting inside the shed with no gas. Broke it out above 3 weeks ago and actually had to use old gas in it because of time constraints. It fired and ran just fine with the old gas. Got back down there this past Sunday with new non ethanol gas with a fuel treatment added. Fired right up on the first pull. It's got a ton of power so I'm keeping it pretty low throttle and no strain whatsoever. Tremendously pleased with this engine ... show more

  • Power to Spare.... Power to Spare....
Size: 420cc Electric Start
I pulled an old Sears Suburban SS16 could been a 18HP originally, with an Onan twin out of the weeds, been sitting around for 15 or 20 years. I needed to do some dirt work on the drive. Wasn't worth spending a $1000 on to get a twin engine, I wanted an electric start too. Looked at reviews, and didn't want o spend extra $100 to get one from the china tool store locally. So chose the 420cc Bilt Hard, drilled the holes bolted it out and started on the third pull. I still hadn't hooked the electric start up yet. Starts easily. I've got about three hours onit so far, maybe a bit more, on the third tank of gas. Wouldn't know this classic from 1976 didn't have the 18HP engine on it, I've run at only about half throttle and it has more power than traction, and its dozer blade just pushes, hit a solid rock etc and the engine doesn't bog down, it just goes to spinning the tires and diggs. Time will tell how it holds up, so far, no complaints mechanically. The one gripe is there is nothing in the paperwork about wiring up a battery I seen, no specs on what the charging circuit or if it even has one, That is the reason for the four stars on install..... I would recommend the 420cc Bilt Hard to anyone looking to repower a classic garden tractor. It revived an old workhorse... Will it power a mowing deck? I can't say as I never intend to put a deck on this one, its just for gardening and dirt work.... ... show more
