Thanks Dave, perhaps I should reconsider and purchase this one I found first instead. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200241274_200241274

It is in the same price range and is advertized to be a little less powerfull but does have a honda engine. In the long run I'll probably be better off with the honda vers the briggs. Thanks
