She looks sweet. Looks like an old white handlebar bag on her. Do you like the new front wheel setup?I repowerd one of my snappers using the GCV190 (w/windup choke) from a old generic personal pace type mower (not Toro) with good results, it was nice light weight and reliable but it requires more throttle for torque than the briggs and Kaw.
Yup, like I have seen, those Hondas are not the strongest nor class leading in cutting torque. Should get the job done with max revs.
