  • 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

  • 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

  • Great little motor
I replace a briggs and stratton motor on a 20" push mower, using the one tapped hole and enclosed bolt, then tapped two other holes 3/8" x 16 to reuse original mounting bolts. i removed keyway that was on the shaft and old blade adapter and bolt worked perfectly. The original brake cable fit and worked perfectly. I bought an $8 throttle cable and installed it to complete the switch over. The engine holds 1/2 qt of engine oil. When checking oil using dipstick, be sure to read instructions. You check engine oil with the dipstick without screwing it into the engine. I filled with gas, pushed primer button twice, and engine started effortlessly with first pull and runs smooth and quiet. It has much more power than the briggs motor I removed. After running engine for 5 minutes or so, I changed the oil. Note you must flip mower upside down to drain oil, there is no drain plug. So far I am very impressed with this little motor. ... show more

  • 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

  • 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. ... show more

  • Excellent value!

Works great. It’s attached to a wood splitter that’s used several hours a week.

  • Engine modifications
Size: 420cc Electric Start
UPDATE; After Receiving guidance and technical assistance From Bilt Hard customer service, the engine is now running very good. I added a fuel cutoff solenoid and filter and replaced the key switch to operate it. The solenoid now cuts off the gas when I shut the engine down. I also had to clean trash from the carburetor main jet but that was from my 51 year old fuel tank, that I replaced the Bilt Hard tank with so the engine would fit in my old tractor. As of this review everything is working as it should. Thanks to the Bilt Hard team for help This Engine is a piece of crap and dangerous. Could possibly explode if not careful. I forgot to turn off the gas supply and the engine filled with gas. Both the cylinder and crankcase. You should not be able to walk away for a few minutes and gas continue to flow into the engine. I would not recommend this engine to anyone. I thought about adding a fuel solenoid, but the ignition system key does not have a 12 volt output when in the on position, only start and stop. Wish I could get my money back but I had to modify the engine to fit it to my 1974 Craftsman garden tractor. ... show more
