Ok. Can I install this on my 21" Honda mower which has the 200cc engine that is supposed to be the most powerful engine on the 21" mowers but the mower still clogs and stalls in the wet tall grass. Is there any more powerful aftermarket engine I can install on my Honda HRX217VKA?
I'd imagine you could, there's definitely a few options bigger than this motor aswell. But bigger $$$ aswell. Hopefully you can resolve your bogging down issues 👍
It unfortunately made it just over a year before losing compression... even the small engine guy was bit confused. I went back to a kohler engine. And find that the kohler get better fuel consumption compared to the Honda gx390
Thanks for the video. Just purchased a GX390, no help in the owners manual to identify the small metal piece with the holes. Do you know what it is used for? Tried to contact Honda, but no response. Regards
Hey Jim I'm not to sure what that piece is for I still have mine, but I think it might be for winter time, so you can attach to muffler to direct heat to the air filter area.. not 100% on that just my thoughts on what it might be used for. Good question thanks!
That metal piece with the holes is called the exhaust deflector. It simply points the exhaust air in a different direction in case if the muffler is next to something, it won’t melt that one thing.
Thats awesome hopefully it turns out! I've seen a few wicked looking cafe racers around here up for sale, wish I had the time and skills to build one myself👍👍
I bought at our local princess Auto, there about 1000$ Canadian or you can get them on sale for 800$ sometimes, great motor still runs awesome with zero issues, only complaint is its abit hungry for fuel. But works awesome even in cold temperatures
Ya definitely could be hooked up to a buggy, and it's been almost a year with this motor still fires up like the day I bought it, and definitely has been used a fair bit! 👍
