Harbor Freight Score
Original Message   Jan 22, 2011 12:23 pm
I took a ride to Harbor freight yesterday just for something to do. I went to the clearance section and I spied a open box 6.5hp ohv engine there (i was hoping for a 11hp). Took the engine out of the box and it appeared to be new and unused. I took the gas cap off and sniffed the tank for traces of gas and found none. The plastic bag and rubber band were still around the output shaft with the key underneath. The only thing that was missing was the owners manual. Since the plug wrench was there I pulled the plug and verified that the engine had never been started. I always bring a 20% off coupon with me when i go and the box was marked 80 dollars. With the 20% off and tax the total came to $65.92. While i really didn't need another engine at this time, how can you pass it up for that little bit of money. When I got home i put oil in it and some fuel and it started on the first pull and purred like a kitten. I will drain the gas put it back in the box and put it down the basement until i come up with a project for it.
