Well as the chinese stuff goes, my attex 208tt is powered buy a chinese honda copy 16hp engine. The same as the gx13hp with bigger bore/stroke. It has been a great engine and starts up with ease even in zero degree weather. Put choke on and pull the cord and it starts, in any weather and even if sitting for a month. It doesnt start as quick with the electric start though, think it dont spin as fast
. I had a problem with the cooling fan exploding and they sent me a new one with no questions asked and they paid the shipping. I have been happy with it. I hate to say it but it is true.
I have also found that people here cheat on there jobs. They are lazy. Skipping steps. Doing nothing on on the clock. etc...... That kind of people cost the company they work for extra money and in turn they have to raise the price of there product. blah blah blah.
I know someone working for a company who was manufacturing the roller rockers for comp cams. During testing the needle bearings where seizing up. They where told to ship them anyways. We all need to quit this stuff. It will catch up to us all. The chinese are starting to make a name of better quality then they had year ago. This is serious stuff.
Sorry for all that but I do feel better, lol.
