Good luck, they did not do you a favor getting it for free.
What does it need to get it running?
If it's motor parts your going to need the model and serial #'s off the motor.

Need mounting dimensions for Honda GX240 and GX390

I

i6pwr on Oct 18, 2015

I want to use the GX240 on my Trac Vac but how far does the muffler extend past the 4 mounting holes in the rear plate on the backside? I need a flush mount or no more than a 1/4" overhang. The impeller housing will extend upward past the muffler and honestly I think the market would change if the GX engines had a flush mounting surface with no interference. I may be able to space the housing out about 1/2" but that's about it. I also need the same measurement for the GX390. The Briggs Intek and the Robin EX27 will work but I was hoping I could use the Honda.
