What is everyone opinion on the Honda or Briggs repower? My 616's are tired and I want to repower them. If you have one let me know what you think. Pros and cons. Thanks Tracy

I like mine with the Kohler 37 hp i put in. Plenty of power and the clutches do not slip even.

Trevor,
Didn't you have a Honda repower for sale or did you sell it? That 37 horse version must cook!

No I haven't. I bought my 620 not running a few years ago. I haven't had it running yet to find out if I have any other issues! I hope it doesn't. I just started the resto last Spring and been working on and off of it all last year. Actually, with my work schedule and business schedule, it takes me quite a while to get things done. I'm more "off" it and on it...Glad to hear you sold the engine.
