I’ve heard really good things about the Predator at Harbor Freight. $100 or so.
Me to
Id would try one with no hesitation. Run quit a few short oil change intervals to clean it out.

My buddy replaced the old Briggs on his splitter with a HF predator. Loves it.
I know 3 people that put HF predators on tillers and they worked great. The only problem I heard of is my nephew who lives in sand country said his Troy bilt house would kill when when it dug deep. He found that the low oil sender would kill the engine because of the added tilt. He added some extra oil which solved the problem.
only use Kohler replacements here -----hf motors are throw away motors----no parts for them and they need a lot!
I got a 10 hp kholer off a wheel horse i would sell u for cheap but Oklahoma is a far ride to ny to spend 100$ I have also used the predator motors in a couple things and haven’t had issues with them
dont think there $100 anymore $140 round these parts

And I thought IL sales tax was high.
$128.70 after tax 7.25 % so you can go to.... mced's and have a combo meal with the change from $140 ............the point was everything/and anything .... ain't cheap anymore even china **** ....
Look at Surplus Center ---- also Northern, their prices are higher than a couple years ago too.

$99 good through June I have a few and know a bunch of people that have them, use and abuse them. There's plenty of parts on the web. But they're cheap enough to just replace with a new one.
