Stop in for a cup of coffee

So a while back a buddy gave me a 13 hp honda slated for the scrap bin.
In the shed for 2 years.
They commonly use them on various machines.
Now they switched to knock-offs.
He brought me a dead one,the mechanic had no interest in repairing it.
So,any rumors stating china motor parts can be swapped are true.
Starter,carb,muffler,and recoil parts all work. Honda knock knock off. It has maybe 50 hours on it. Swapped everything over, and it runs!
