I have a Honda mower, model number HRR2167VKA with the GCV160 engine. I sat for a couple years, the my friend gave it to me. I got it running but it would revv through the roof. Tried messing with the governor, got it to the point where it would run ok, but would stumble here and there and surge a bit occasionally. I noticed that it smoked a decent amount from the exhaust and the breather tube. The deck is fine and the self propel still works. I want to replace the engine with a new one, and i found the Harbor Freight one, the specs point to it being able to be used a replacement. I am looking for any input from anyone who has done this. I need the self propel to still function as i have a couple steep hills that i need the self propel for.
I have found an older thread on here about someone doing this swap, but he just says its works and then nothing more on the thread.
TIA
