Anyone got a honda 390 engine?

[Shane]

Not the best day today, but you gotta laugh...

Managed to destroy the engine on the little Rayco stumpy

Absolutely no compression, interesting rattling sounds on crankshaft.

 

It's done 12 years so I can't complain.

 

Does anyone have a 390cc honda engine they want to sell?

It's the 13hp one with a 1 inch diameter output shaft.

 

I don't mind travelling and paying sensible money if anyone has one.

 

Even a spare generator or water pump which can be split would be OK.

 

Thanks

I've got a few Honda engines kind king about Shane, I'll have a look when I'm home

A few people have changed them to Lifan engines which seem to be fairly cheap. I've got a spare Honda engine but I keep it as a spare as I've had nothing but trouble with them

That's interesting reading...will check it out next time I have to replace ANOTHER honda engine...

The Lifans seem too cheap to be any good???but I've no experience to confirm that. I would prefer a Honda engine as the current one has done well for me.

I haven't tried one yet but I will do! My experience with Honda engines has not been good :-(

I've had a 13 hp launtop on a hammer mill for the last year and it's been good apart from the petrol tank falling off due to fatigue due to not rubber mounting the engine.

Do you reckon this would be any good? It reads as if it's the generator that is at fault, but the engine is a runner.

I've always had good service from Honda engines. The only ones I have been asked to fix have been left for a while with fuel in them.

Sorry Shane, just got the 8hp version.
