  • Powerful engine
I used this as a replacement for a pressure washer engine. That isn't what it's designed for but with a little ingenuity, it works great. I had to add a throttle and kill switch and some machined spacers for the engine mounts but it definitely gets the job done! I have a lawnmower that will soon need a new engine, it's getting one of these. I already checked all the dimensions and mounting specs so it should be a drop in fit. ... show more

  • Important review, please read before buying. It could save you a lot of time.
This is a good value engine, but I did have to tinker. First off, this is the exact same engine as Harbor freights predator line. The manual is word for word and everything on the engine is the same but the cover. This came from the same factory, but this is 50 dollars cheaper. I bought the 173cc lawn mower engine. With that said this engine died on me every 20 minutes. The fix is easy and I think it explains most of the dead engines from the 1 star review. They did make the troubleshooting time worth it for me. The problem is the emergency stop circuit. I would describe this as a design flaw. The emergency stop circuit is very simple. There is a terminal on the ignition coil. This terminal goes to a wire that screws onto part of the engine. The other end of the wire that connects to the engine has a terminal as well. A lever makes contact with that terminal to ground the circuit and shut the engine off. The lever goes to the cable on your mower. The problem is there is no adjustment for that terminal to lever connection. For me when the mower got hot the terminal would deform and make contact to the lever. This caused sputtering and then eventually it would shut down until the engine cooled and terminal no longer made contact with the lever. The fix is easy, about 10 minutes and free. Take the 3 screws off the cover. Remove the cover. Take the 3 nuts off the internal cover and remove those. Follow the wire from the ignition coil to where it connects to the engine and bend that terminal down slightly. When the engine is running verify you have about half the lever travel with engine on and half with engine off. This will mean a safety factor on both sides. You can also use a multi meter. Connect one lead to the wire and the other to the engine body. Adjust until you get continuity for half the lever travel and no continuity for the other half of the travel. A troubleshooting step is to remove the wire from the ignition coil when your unit won't start. If you do this you will have no means to turn the engine off. You will have to run out of gas, pull the spart plug wire, or ground the terminal on the ignition coil. Be careful of the mower blade. Hopefully this helps. ... show more

  • One pull and it started right up
Size: 301cc
Had to modify my lawn vacuum for this motor to fit as the original motor was only a 6 hp.. This was the smallest horse power motor I could find with a 1 inch shaft. Once mounted, the motor started on the first pull and runs great. Very satisfied with it.

  • Replaced Troy Bilt tiller motor
Size: 212cc
I replaced a 2007 Tecumseh motor on my tiller. Installation was a breeze. The output shaft is approximately 1/2 inch longer than the original which caused some minor adjustments to get the geometry back on the belts. Anything that was needed is readily available at TS. The motor stars easily and has more power than the original. Time will tell on the longevity, but so far I couldn't be happier. ... show more

  • Good value for the money
Size: 212cc
I bought this engine to replace the old engine on my Troy Bilt horse tiller. It was a bolt on fit. After filling it with oil and fuel took about 3 pulls to fire it up. Since firing it up it has only taken 1 pull to fire it, warm or cold. I’m running it at varying rpm’s to break it in without any load. One thing I can suggest to the manufacturer is to give a third option for the cable throttle hook up. I had to use the side option which puts a bend in the throttle cable and had to relocate the cable control on the tiller handle. It has 2 options, one from the side and one from the front. A third option from the rear would make it an easy universal replacement engine. I will update this review after using it for a while. UPDATE: This engine has performed perfectly. Great value for the money. ... show more

  • A work in progress. New update
Engine came fast, looks in good shape. I bolted it to mower frame, connected everything. We were going great. Then engine would not start? It seems to be a spark issue, I did not have a lot of time yesterday to go over things. Oil level good, gas to cylinder. But no spark, using a testing tool. Company did respond in very short time, they had a couple questions about setup. I hope to get the big boy running soon. These folks were very good with my problem with ignition spark. I was able to determine that the engine was shorting out. Through the flywheel brake assembly. All good now engine running great ... show more

  • Did not fit
Did not fit. I wanted to return it. I did not see a "no returns" policy. How unhappy do you think I am. How much business have I given Amazon? How many people will I tell. And how much will I spend on Amazon in the future?

  • Worth it
Size: 301cc
The media could not be loaded. I'll be the first to admit that I was on the fence about buying this engine. I bought it to replace a worn old tecumseh 8hp. The governor finally broke internal. This engine wasn't a direct replacement. But with a little fabrication and other things it worked out well. But as far as the engine running wise. Absolutely one of the smoothest and quite engine I've seen in a while. Well worth the money paid. I will purchase another one when the need arises. ... show more
