honda small engines is where it's at... my 79 xr250 is like indestructible...

I put gas in it and on rare occasions check the oil...

bastard just keeps going and going.

 

Yeah, this thing started with one pull, but had a miss due to the plug being fouled up. Runs at about I'd say 80% now. Still needs a filter and an oil change. My neighbor isn't home, so I haven't talked to her about it.
I've gotta wonder if the Honda clone that's on our tiller is the same way. Predator 212. Exact copy of the Honda GX series.

 

Haha, I transferred part of my CompD sig over to here

(very few peeps actually list their mods over there...and my mods just won't fit in my sig here..far too many)

 

Woot! Brake cables for the S10 showed up today

 

Sweet, when are you going to drop that 5 speed in there?

 

I've had nothing but trouble from Briggs engines. The Kohler in my Deere mower has been extremely good.

The Honda at work just keeps a jugging, Homda makes great small engines

 

I like me Briggs. If you maintain them they work just fine.

Oil change in the spring, air cleaner cleaning through out the year and the Seafoam in spring and fall.

Done.

 

whenever I stop being lazy and the old man gets his dumb tractor out of the shop so I can put the doner truck up on the lift and yard out the trans, and push it back out, then put my s10 on the lift and swap them out...

shouldn't be hard though. I did a clutch on the ground by myself without a tranny jack on the S10 I sold lol. those little T5's are light as ****. now my dodge on the other hand...I wouldn't dare try to do that one on the ground alone, or without a tranny jack...thing weighs 650# by itself...then there is a transfer case hanging off of it to add even more weight :doh:


S10 trans swap ought to be cake. it's just a little 2wd, and so is the donor truck.

that donor trucks 5-spd better be in good shape cause the 4-spd in the one I have now shifts flawlessly.

 

You mean the donor truck is not drivable? Oh snap. lol

That should be good.

 

nope. dead motor...
