LEHR questions

[Guest]

I really was considering buying the lehr 5hp but the negative reviews are really pushing me in a different direction. From oil stain in the box, to oil screw and washer problems, cheap cowl, idle issues, carb problems and flimsy wires. Is there anything that's positive about this engine? I wouldn't want to spend 1800 bux and get stuck!

Kinda' sounds like you've already decided. I certainly wouldn't want to spend that kind of money on something unless I had a good warm fuzzy feeling about it.

It says Made In China. Not a fan of Chinese quality. It's a neat idea, but I'd look for something made in the US or Japan.

I'd definitely want to get a live demo of one before I put out that kind of dough.

So $1800, is that for the 5 hp?

I think I would go with the time proven Tohatsu 6 hp and save 400-$500. same weight
Or go with the Tohatsu 8 hp for $1700 (weighs 30# more)
And no messing with propane cylinders.
