    GX 390 hondas. complete or parts

    I have 3 gx390 generator engines. All run. I'm missing a couple recoils but they all run. Hours vary. Parts or whole. Rather not ship whole engines. If you need anything let me know. Located in Grandville mi. Not sure on prices. Depends what part you need. Local pickup on the engines $200 a piece.

    Engine, she no run so good!

    Could use a little help guys, I have a 196 cc clone on an mb165 that won't run without the choke almost fully closed. I removed the carb and cleaned out the jet and verified fuel is getting into the bowl lifting the float up and down. I checked for air leaks and found nothing, so having checked...

    I was wanting to know if anyone runs without the lower shroud, and if it would run hot or if it would be fine? Thanks

Motor was stripped down and has new bearings, seals, piston, rings, special cut rotary valve. And repaired kick start. When I returned I stripped...

    Honda ES6500 Generator wont stay running ...

    The crank case was full of gas and oil. The gas had migrated from the tank to the crank. Changed the oil & filter. Removed the carb, pulled the float bowl, gently cleaned the jets with WD 40, air and a small wire. The bowl was clean when 1st disassembled. 1-1/2 gallons of fresh gas was put...

    I'm a dip stick sometimes.

    Been waiting to get around to figuring out what I did wrong with the HS40 going on the Powell. I knew timing was at the limit of the slots, so had some wild ideas about what I'd do to fix it. Since I have moments of zero pride, and am feeling humble, allow me to confess that when I pulled...

    Daytona 500 Qualifying

    What did I just see? Can someone explain this qualifying strategy of waiting in the pit lane until the last minute to run only one lap. :out: Seems to me the same chance at the pole could've been had by drawing numbers from a hat. :blink:

    Hi guys. Not completely sure if this is a minibike, I posted pictures a while back of this contraption I built out of a Chinese scooter. It had a 33cc 2-stroke engine, and hadn't run for a while. I was messing around with the motor about a week ago, and got it to run for a bit, then stripped out...
