Honda motors are the best when it comes to small equipment. They are so much better than the rest, Briggs, orTecumseh that it's not even close.

Jim do you know where they are working on this at? My cousin is a pretty high up at the Marysville, Ohio plant.

I've been hearing some rumors too. Honda's have always been an excellent engine. It'll be interesting where they take this.

I read somewhere earlier this year that the engineering for their Indy engines actually came out of Ilmor. Not sure how accurate it was, and can no longer remember where I read it.
