[AT] Replacement engine question

[Mogrits]

The "Chondas" from Harbor Freight seem to perform as well as the Hondas. I
do not know what happens when you need a part, however. I'm not sure all
the external parts will interchange and don't know how you order HF spare
parts.

I've swapped them onto a few non essential devices- a pressure washer and a
push mower, and they always start on the second pull. I put a 6hp Chonda
engine on a 20 inch Murray pushmower frame and created what I call the
Frankenmower. It can run through lariope (monkeygrass) like nothing. For
what I wanted, I cannot complain.
