What are the tolerances for bore and piston on a honda GXV140-135
These Specs are very helpful, but it’s not likly that I’d ever find them again. Would it be possible to download them to a PDF or xcel file so that I could file them with the Honda Manuel?
By the way, thanks Honda for not publishing this with my mower… way to go.
