BILT HARD 7HP Gas Engine Horizontal Shaft, 212cc 4 Stroke OHV Industrial Grade Replacement Gas Motor, Shaft 3/4" (19mm) Diameter, 2-3/8" Long, 3/16" Keyway

It's a great engine. I had a different brand engine on this tiller that had extremely low service hours on it but I failed to take adequate precautions and allowed the carburator to totally rust up. Ordered this last March and didn't actually get around to installing it until last fall. Just left it setting inside the shed with no gas. Broke it out above 3 weeks ago and actually had to use old gas in it because of time constraints. It fired and ran just fine with the old gas. Got back down there this past Sunday with new non ethanol gas with a fuel treatment added. Fired right up on the first pull. It's got a ton of power so I'm keeping it pretty low throttle and no strain whatsoever. Tremendously pleased with this engine

Solid Motor – Starts Easy, Runs GreatInstalled this motor on a leaf vac. It started right up on the second pull and has been running smooth ever since. Performance is exactly what I expected—plenty of power, no issues.One thing to note: the original motor had a 1-inch shaft, but this new one has a 3/4-inch shaft. It worked out fine, but I’d recommend they include or at least suggest an adapter in the "frequently bought together" section to make the swap easier for others.Ran it for a good while using about half a tank while sucking up leaves—worked great.

I ordered this for my Coleman CT200U-EX because HF was out of Predator Engines within 100 miles of me and this had a two day delivery and i kind of like the color. Plus it got good reviews. But after shipping was delayed twice on this engine, I was able to locate a Predator 224 at my local HF. I installed it and was very pleased with it's performance, but I had already painted my bike blue in anticipation of the Built Hard Engine and the Predator didn't look the great. Then this guy finally showed up and I swapped it in. Started first pull, is a little quieter than the Predator, and seems to perform just as well as the 224. Plus it looks great. Very happy with this purchase so far and would not hesitate to buy another if needed for another project.

Pros: Good Price; Runs wellCons: Battery not included; Oil not included; bolts&nuts to secure engine on the chassis not included; bolt set to secure pulley on the shaft not included. THE WORSE AND MOST RIDICULOUS: cable to connect battery and engine not included The customer needs to figure out how to install.When one add the cost of all extras and labor required, it gets close to the price of well known and reputable brands.

Great engine. Husband replaced old engine on our garden tiller. Has a lot of power. Runs great!!

This Engine is a piece of crap and dangerous. Could possibly explode if not careful. I forgot to turn off the gas supply and the engine filled with gas. Both the cylinder and crankcase. You should not be able to walk away for a few minutes and gas continue to flow into the engine.I would not recommend this engine to anyone. I thought about adding a fuel solenoid, but the ignition system key does not have a 12 volt output when in the on position, only start and stop.Wish I could get my money back but I had to modify the engine to fit it to my 1974 Craftsman garden tractor.

This is a good value engine, but I did have to tinker. First off, this is the exact same engine as Harbor freights predator line. The manual is word for word and everything on the engine is the same but the cover. This came from the same factory, but this is 50 dollars cheaper. I bought the 173cc lawn mower engine. With that said this engine died on me every 20 minutes. The fix is easy and I think it explains most of the dead engines from the 1 star review. They did make the troubleshooting time worth it for me.The problem is the emergency stop circuit. I would describe this as a design flaw. The emergency stop circuit is very simple. There is a terminal on the ignition coil. This terminal goes to a wire that screws onto part of the engine. The other end of the wire that connects to the engine has a terminal as well. A lever makes contact with that terminal to ground the circuit and shut the engine off. The lever goes to the cable on your mower. The problem is there is no adjustment for that terminal to lever connection. For me when the mower got hot the terminal would deform and make contact to the lever. This caused sputtering and then eventually it would shut down until the engine cooled and terminal no longer made contact with the lever. The fix is easy, about 10 minutes and free.Take the 3 screws off the cover. Remove the cover. Take the 3 nuts off the internal cover and remove those. Follow the wire from the ignition coil to where it connects to the engine and bend that terminal down slightly. When the engine is running verify you have about half the lever travel with engine on and half with engine off. This will mean a safety factor on both sides. You can also use a multi meter. Connect one lead to the wire and the other to the engine body. Adjust until you get continuity for half the lever travel and no continuity for the other half of the travel.A troubleshooting step is to remove the wire from the ignition coil when your unit won't start. If you do this you will have no means to turn the engine off. You will have to run out of gas, pull the spart plug wire, or ground the terminal on the ignition coil. Be careful of the mower blade.Hopefully this helps.
