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

Was skeptical at first, however decided to take the chance. Arrived relatively soon and was packaged pretty well for shipping. Came just as photo appears. Started within one or two pulls, did have a noise in lower end that was concerning and sounded like if the motor was over revved would come apart, could be reason for the one review I seen. I let idle for a good while and as it broke in the sound dissipated to completely gone. Afterwards I applied more throttle to it and installed the torque converter. All seemed to go well, starts real easy and idles very well and ran it a full speed for a short while. I also did not think the vibration was really that bad for a small engine. I think where "some" of the mixed reviews is they are not giving enough break-in time. Just like any new motor comes with no oil and not broken in. So you have to take your time and add the new oil, just over a half a quart and I added some mystery in there just cause, may void a warranty but I will take the risk. Let it idle and keep at low RPM until it has time to break-in. Would have given 5 stars but hesitant since it has only had a an hour of run time and the throttle is really stiff on it. Did get a little better with some use but still I will need to go in there and loosen it up before it can be used. Does take the UNF bolts from the converter if that helps anyone.Update: it has been a minute since I left this, but the engine has been on the cart and had several hard running hours on it. It has done awesome, I loosened the throttle screw and throttles just fine. I think it is just set stiff since not all will be used this way. Great little motor, we let it brake in and changed oil and has been running hard for a week or so and doing great.

Great Engine amazing fir tge peice mych better than Predator motors same but mych better quality. Mine is on a tiller and it works pretty hard. Love it !

I bought this to use on my old Brave logsplitter, as the 30+ year old Briggs finally gave up the ghost. I was dubious, but the price between this and a new brand-name motor was nearly $500! It installed easily, even though one of the pump bracket holes stripped out. Aside from that, it was a seamless installation. It starts right up, usually on the first pull. It runs the splitter great, with power to spare. Oil changes are easy. I have nothing bad to say about this motor, and would buy it again.

This is a great motor for the price. Put it on my wood splitter over a year ago and it runs great every time.

I replaced a 2007 Tecumseh motor on my tiller. Installation was a breeze. The output shaft is approximately 1/2 inch longer than the original which caused some minor adjustments to get the geometry back on the belts. Anything that was needed is readily available at TS. The motor stars easily and has more power than the original. Time will tell on the longevity, but so far I couldn't be happier.

Motor fit perfect on rotor tiller. Bolted it on and one pull it started.

Great engine, good power without being modded, only had to adjust the idle, fill with oil and after first start inow starts first pull with little effort.My hubs just rehabed a Murray Explorer go kart for street use with this engine and have not done any modsWe have it driving a 30 series torque converter with racing belt and green spring in the driven pully to a jack shaft to a 420 roller on a 60 tooth sprocket. is 4 x 4 wheel hubs on a 1” live axle with golf cart wheels and tiresOur new toys flies!

Engine came did what the paper work said not my first time can't get to run check spark no spark... I try to contact about refund or replace and they dont offer it on this Engine. Im sure I just got the one they built on friday but I wish I could atleast get an option of a replacement.. other then that beautiful Engine.
