OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions on Other Engines Honda Clone?

Okay, on to my next project. Have this generic suitcase generator to try and repair and am wondering if it is a Honda clone engine? The nasty plastic/resin cam gear has stripped several teeth and cracked. I have heard the GX120 has a plastic gear but don't know if this engine is a knock off of one. Anyone recognise the gizzards or does the number stamped on the crankcase ring any bells?

It doesn't look anything like any Honda I've seen, least of all a GX120. Whatever that cam gear is made out of, it isn't at all like the nylon Honda used on the GXV140.

You can try contacting some the Hyundai service centers to see they can with parts for the engine. You can also try searching the net using XG144F.

The engine is a XG144F 53cc OHV ZAMANLI.

Thanks and well done AVB, that solves the problem of where it comes from, and may even provide a way to get spare parts.

Thanks AVB. I rang the nearest dealer from the website and they are not optimistic about Hyundai having spares since apparently they tried to get a set of rings for the same model engine a couple of weeks back and they don't even carry those! Maybe I can sell the repairer the ones out of this if I can't get a cam gear since it only did about 50 hours before crapping out apparently.
