The Best,
March 16, 2009
By Den123
from Mass
"When the engine let go on my log splitter, I had to fine a new one. The old one was realy loud. It had no controls for the rate the engine ran. One speed fast. This Honda is not only quieter, but it comes with speed control and a good chock. Plus it fit just fine on my log splitter. No fuss and all questons were answered by the person who helped me buy it."

Honda GX,
November 30, 2008
By WinWoodchuck
from California
"This is not the first Honda GX series I have ordered and used from Northern Tool, it might be the third or fourth, maybe more over the ten, fifteen or more years we have been doing a very satisfactory business together.
I find this GX160 well suited for my wood splitter. I find them dependable, gas efficient and durable.
This old splitter is over 20 years old. I have repaired it several times but each time I need a motor I use Honda's. I also keep a spare engine on hand as the one on this splitter now has had years of use, but still going strong.
These GX Series engines are well designed tough little engines that start easy and have plenty of power to bust the big hard oak and eucalyptus rounds I split."

Superb Small Engines: Honda,
November 18, 2008
By Tecton
from San Jose, CA
"For powered equipment--tillers, splitters, mowers, etc.--a Honda engine is a quality investment that pays a return via a prolonged life of use. The engines run smooth and steady. I have several engines in various pieces of equipment. Even after years of use and after seasonal storage, they start up for me on the first pull for the first use of a seasonal workout and that's no exaggeration. For reliability year after year, their dependebility doesn't get much better than that. I like the design too: placement of the fuel tank, set-up for maintenance, in a compact package as well."

"Awesome engine. Filled with oil and gas and it started on half a pull !! Pull start is so easy that even my twelve year old daughter can do it. The 5.5 horses is plenty for the go kart, even with an adult riding it. Great, reliable, Honda product."

HONDA Engines,
April 21, 2008
By Ruger57
from North Carolina
"I purchased a Pressure washer 8 years ago with a Honda GX 160 engine on it,I have just changed the spark plug for the first time yesterday.I have changed the oil and cleaned the air filter.That is all the maintnence I have had to perform on this engine. It has never one time let me down.I only changed the plug because of how long it has been in the engine.It ran perfect this week.I cleaned one of my largest homes this week.It ran for almost 8 hours straight.Used NO oil,and used only 1 1/2 tank of fuel. I will not purchase any power equipment without a Honda GX engine on it ! PERIOD !!"

"The product was exactly what we need to replace the engine on our tamper. The tamper brand replacement was $450.00 more than this engine. We called everywhere and you had the best price. Super fast delivery. Thank you very much."

November 1, 2007
By doc57
from Shelbyville, Il
"I have used the 5.5 Honda horizontal engine on several go karts in the past 5 years and have never had any problems. They start immediately and have never used oil. They are simple to maintain and are very durable. Although they may cost a few dollars more than other name brands, their performance is well worth the difference. I will continue using the Honda engine and would recommend it to anyone."
