Hi Phantomguy. and a big warm welcome to the forum. I have had a hectic festive season and I am sorry for the delay in response to your question.

On my Scotty I have a Honda G100 2.5HP. These engines have been superseded by the GX range, and are apparently very strong for their size.(and start first pull)!!

I had my Honda fitted by a local engineering firm in Wagga, (Judds Engineering) who also happen to be the Honda dealers for this area. As far as I know, there were no probs encountered, the horizontal engine shaft mated properly with the cylinder clutch, and even the 4 bolt holes that attach the engine, aligned perfectly.
I actually had only
2 problems with the original engine.....one was called Briggs and the other called......

Viva La Honda!! he he!
