Where to buy a Honda (or copy) GX390

[redmoosefaction]

Any one got any other dealers for these engines, just waiting for Universal and Honda to give me a price.

 

I phoned Honda, they say they don't make them, so... if I could jump the middle man, I could be quids in

 

I did see them in the states for what works out to be £445.00 plus tax and shipping. Is it worth it doing it that way, does anyone need a cheap engine perhaps we can get a few in?

OR... could i put a different engine on, maybe even a slightly bigger one.. say 16hp, it's to go on an RG13 (like/equivalent) stump grinder.

WOW!

 

Asked Honda... they quoted £1129 Inc P+P reduced down to £994 inc..

 

then Phil at Universal engines 01371 875331, who quoted me £493+vat and delivery at £12.95.... So I jumped at that.

 

The only difference in this engine is that it had a different air filter (not cyclone one, which I have off my broken unit) and a spark arrest that is easy to wire!

 

How cool was that, almost 40% saving!
