I would never touch a Honda ever again and I know they have a good reputation.
And Norm, if you leave a Honda GX fuel tap on they usually flood into the sump!
I've had two Honda GX engines that client's thought were seized, but the fuel tap had been left on and fuel had filled up the sump hydraulically locking the piston as though it had thrown a conrod.
Nevertheless, a Honda GX will still start better than a Briggs & Stratton with the Pulsa-Jet diaphragm carburettor. It would have been good if B&S had used float bowl carbies much earlier and saved their reputation and not given Honda a market opportunity.
