Answer 5

Honda, bottom line from someone who isn't a mechanic. All I know since I went Honda, every year, I might even have gas from the year before and the lawn mower will still crank over within a few times, same with snow blower and everything else, I try to empty the gas every year but sometimes I forget. When I bought the optional electric start for my honda snow blower for $100 extra, they told me I really don't need it, I thought just in case because EVERY year I could not get my whatever make going the first time and had to take to the shop. Granted, I am not great on maintenance, but with my hondas, I don't need to be. I change the oil every year, sometimes I have missed a year, sames things with the plugs, I change the plugs every year or 2, lawn mower 8 years now starts every time, sitting in cold garage in spring, couple cranks, starts right up. even with 6 month old gas. Honda was made for a guy like me. The guy next door who would not buy a honda spends 20 hours a summer maintaining his mower, always taking it apart fixing, telling me maintaining. Whatever floats your boat. Guy across the streets, his dad wont let him buy a honda, borrows mine when his breaks, My honda snow blower has done 3 peoples houses because of 1 persons breaking and another person got sick so I did theirs too. All I know is Honda has done me well.

Answer 6

I used to sell both, the Honda is gonna be the top of the line when it comes to small engines. Kohler is a good engine as well. The only problem with Kohler engines is that when they breakdown it is harder to find parts or someone trained to work on them. Honda parts are easy to find and have someone trained to work on them.

Answer 7

I have Honda CR-V, it's 6 years since brought it in 2000. I told you that Honda are better than Kohler that Honda are made in Japan.

I think that Kohler are easily to breakdown and Honda are harder to breakdown..

Answer 8

Why would you not like Honda engines? They have few flaws and parts are easy to come by. Kohler is a good brand as well. They have the same ease of repair and spares are common, too. I would reccomend either for any project.

Answer 9

Both manufacturers are adapting to new pollution control standard laws. So you might expect some problems from either one as they switch over to low polluting engines. Another factor is noise pollution. Communities are starting to appreciate engines that run with less noise. For example, leaf blower engines are starting to get bad publicity because of the noise they make in your community. Usually the design engineers don't get it right the first time around, so any brand new anti-pollution ("green") engine may have it's problems. I prefer a low noise engine, and Honda has produced some very low noise emergency power backup engines.

a think a honda would be better
