"Saw this engine online with electric start. Went into local store to purchase item and the item did not have electric start. Same item number! Online description and picture was wrong. Call 1-800 number and they would not honor because they said that it was not showing online as electric start. Why?..because they change the price while I was on the phone with customer service and would not acknowledge that it was wrong in the beginning. Even the manager and I looked it up and saw this engine with electric start. So I have been Punked!"

"This is our third engine in six years. That sounds like a lot , but, this compressor runs 5 to 6 hours a day. We've tried different engines but none compare to the Honda GX340. The engine is exposed to all of the elements including rain, snow and extreme heat. None of these seem to have an effect on this engine. Just don't make sense to use anything else."
