[AT] Replacement engine question

[charlie hill]

Harbor freight sells an additional one year unconditional warranty on
their honda clone engines.  As they explained to me, you can take your
old one back in pieces or running if you like within a year and they will 
replace it
with a brand new one at no charge.  I don't much believe in extended 
warranties
so I didn't bite.  Mine is about, hmmmm, 3? years old now and starts every 
time
I pull the rope as long as I remember to turn on the switch, gas and/or 
choke first.

Greg, some of the guys on the list have had good luck with Harbor
Freight engines.  Did a quick look and they have a 22 HP V-twin for
699.00.  I think they are Honda clones.
