What engine would you replace it with

[Jim.ME]

I'm glad you like them. And that they work for you. I've had a couple of Honduh engines that haven't worked so well for me.so why do I want a clone of something that hasn't been good for me?
That is not to mention the sheer willingness to buy Chinese. Not like there's enough other products in our lives for which we have no damn choice. And so many people are so willing to make that choice when we have them.... I don't live there, am not from there, never been there, and don't like the idea they are basically taking over our lives whether we like it or not so when I do have any say so I say*NO"

No Predator or Honda covers the ones you don't recommend; which engines do you recommend?

If he says Honda's are no good, I wouldn't consider anything he recommends anyway.

You are typing truths!

People get these opinions formed from positions of ignorance then defend the hill at all cost, facts presented to clear up some of the ignorance seem not to matter to them, heels just get dug in deeper on the hill.
