I bought the engine to replace a Honda GX140 on a wacker plate. I placed the order and collected the engine from Clitheroe. I also bought a new clutch and v-belt. The swap over was very straight forward and the new engine started on the second pull. The engine has run flawlessly since.
I wish I replaced the engine earlier as the old engine was difficult to start and reluctant to run at full power despite carburettor cleans and exchanges.
