Review: Good replacement engine - In the process of building a log splitter I needed a engine and started looking. I was looking for one at a decent affordable price. I saw the Lifan 6.5 hp and read some reviews about it. Found good reviews and could not beat the price so decided to buy. It arrived in a slightly damaged condition, the dent in the tank was minor and does not affect the operation. I filled engine with oil and fuel, three pulls later it was running. Excellent starting and running, started with 1-2 pulls since, every time and I really like the fuel shut off. I can't comment on longevity but for the price and quality I received it will probably last as long as other makes and possibley longer. Time will tell. I will be buying another in the future.
Review: Much better than $300 engines - Lifan 190 engines arrive with heavy cartons & 4 pieces foam packing and owner manual in legible print with spare parts. No shipping damage, unlike $300 engines direct from China. Cylinders have steel sleeves. Fuel tank has heavy cap with large threads. Engine also has a balance shaft. 15 HP engine I have has mount ring with 4 threaded holes of M8-1.0 X 25 mm. 4 more mount holes are not equally spaced, sized M10-1.25. Maybe also 25 mm deep? Shaft is slotted with key supplied. Shaft end is threaded 5/16" fine. Many shaft shapes, lengths & mount thread options exist. lLifan seems not to know which desertcart shipped. Lifan in Van Buren AR has responded to my email and phone calls. This is replacement for 2 Duromax 18HPE engines that died in less than 50 hours run time. Keep these engines indoors or cover air cleaner. Design of air cleaner lets rain in carburetor. A thin rubber washer on a threaded rod is not water proof. Second pull started engine. More after I get some hours on this engine... Edit 2022: I only use 1 of 2 engines. It starts easy by pull or starter motor. Usually gas valve is shut wnen work is done. After engine dies, key switch is set off & key removed. Oil is changed after < 10 hours use. Oil consumption is 0. No problems.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Direction of rotation**
A: Look at the pull starter.  Easy to see which way the start rope is wrapped.  Engine will run same direction pull starter turns it.  On back of engine, is other end of same shaft.

**Q: can i buy it if i need it for a honda gx240 engine mortar mixer**
A: 79 goes into 240 about 3 times. So you'll need three of these engines.

**Q: Is there a place to connect a throttle cable (spring loaded) so that it can be used as a go kart motor?  Or dose it require modifications?  thx**
A: motor has built in cable mount.  if you are using a gas peddle, you will need a return spring but the attachment point and cable clamp are there.

**Q: Which side is the 6:1 gear reduction on? I order one, but after looking at the picture, it may not work on my plow hoss. looking from the rear.**
A: If the gear reduction is not turned the correct way,  you can take the gearbox off and rotate it.  It could void the warranty though.   I have not tried this on the lifan,  but have done so on several B&S with no problems

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good, but with an asterisk
*by E***T on May 12, 2014*

Great motor. Easy to crank. Runs smooth. Plenty of power. Price excellent. One problem: I ordered model LF168F-2BRQ, but I received model LF168F-2BR (The "Q" was missing.) This meant that the diameter of the output shaft of the motor I received was 20mm and not the 3/4 diameter of the Q model. I wanted to put a pulley on the output shaft, but I couldn't find a pulley with a 20mm bore, even on the internet. I wound up buying a pulley with a 3/4 bore and then boring it to 20mm, using a 20mm drill bit that I special ordered. Even with this significant complication, I am still completely satisfied with this motor. The centrifugal wet clutch works perfectly. By the way, even though this engine is made to be a go-kart motor, I am not using it for that purpose. I am using it to power a seed auger. I start and stop the auger by varying the throttle by using a 12V linear actuator controlled by a wireless remote.
