    Honda GC160 easy start leak link

    I used to really like Honda GC160, thought it was the ultimate minibike engine. They are readily available used, but pricey because they make great small work engines for generators, pressure washers, tillers, etc. I bought one used for $125 and thought it was a good deal. Not long ago I...

    Go power wheels, when did they start making them?
