    How's that engine run? Subaru EX series is the only small engine series I will rate higher than a Honda GX due to overhead cam design.

    Really smooth. Starts easily too. I’m guessing it spends some time outside based on how the overall unit looks.

    Our Billy Goat blower (close to 20 years old IIRC) has a Subaru engine and it’s been great.

    you need a drift punch to realign the holes, they were aligned before without drilling and will line up again.
