    I have an older buffalo blower that I want to put a new engine in.  There is a kohler ch740, or a Honda gx690 recommended.  has anyone tried the Honda and if so which model did you use.  With the Honda they say that the throttle control from the remote does not work.  Has anyone been able to make this function work with the Honda.

    Thanks

    Jason,
    The Kohler engine has a control module that the wireless unit is used to control throttle speed. I think you know this, however, if not the module is ,located in the top right front engine cowling.
    I have four of these blowers, and would not change engine model, just my advise.
    Don't k is if Honda has this accessory available.
