Honda Clone Swap
My 1995 had no spark, the spark plug ignition coil is bad . The cheapest I found was $180. I decided to take a 20% off coupon from Harbor Freight to buy a 6.5 hp GX200 clone engine. I stripped off gas tank and airbox/governor linkage. I drilled 2 holes in front crossmember to mount engine, and used original mount plate for rear of engine. I got a clutch from Northern Tool and a new chain too. The exhaust had to be custom made. I was also able to reuse existing brake band setup with some slight mounting rearrangements. All in all I would do this again before ever dumping more than $150 into repairing a Kitty engine. Next up is a deep snow kit so my 4 year old will get 3 years out of it.
