She sure is pretty...

[Becker]

What a PITA..

Engine was in next day, but honda was nice enough to discontinue old model and redesign.

A bit more displacement, larger oil capacities..

Had to take my custom stainless steel exhaust in for more customizing.

Luckily everything else was pretty much bolt on, plug in ready.

Choke changed, it is now choked when pushed in instead of pulled.

We will see how long she lasts...

that big enough to run a #3 blower? shiteatinggrin

or a #4 for 3000 hrs before it implodes..

I'd love to have a pair of 405s.

you know, ben's At has 32x more suction than your little lawnmower engine will ever produce. How do you clean carpets with that? :mrgreen:

The big question is how do you move more air through a hose? A 45 blower turning at 3600 rpm will produce about 400 cfm of air.

Have you ever seen a ferrari in rush hour traffic? Just because it "can" go fast doesn't mean it has the opportunity to.

Many big blowers are the same. They "can" move a lot of air but just not through that little 2" hose that most of us use. Not to mention the wand lips.
