[AT] test

[charlie hill]

Cecil, according to my friend that used to own a small engine shop, these HF 
engines
are essentially Honda design, knocked off by the Chinese.  I don't know. 
Anyway, for
another 12 bucks within the next 30 days I can buy a replacement guarantee 
good for 1 year.
I think for a few more bucks I can get one good for 2 years.  It's not a 
warranty, it's a direct replacement.
I think I'll do it at some point if I don't forget before the 30 days is 
out.

Those HF engines can't be any worse than the New B&S engine on the Pacer
pump I bought a few years back.  I bought one to build a fire rig with.
It worked fine once, than the flywheel magnest got a little rust on them
and it would never run right.  I lost a van full of parts because it
would not start...  This seems to be the problem with the pointless
ignition.  Pointless is right!!!
