Someone posted this earlier but after tonights Chonda Test & Tune (TNT) there was some confusion about the coupons for the Harbor Freight Honda Clone (Chonda) motors so I thought I would briefly explain what they are and how you can get them for as little as $88 right now.

These are Chinese clones of the Honda GX200 engines. There are dozens of posts on YouTube showing you how to set them up for karting, probably more for mini-bikes and recreational carting.

For karting at HCKC, as well as dozens of karting clubs around the country, the Chonda class has become a huge success for families interested in getting involved in karting at a affordable price.

Read the post, search the internet and you'll see what the hype is all about.

These motors are purchased at Harbor Freight, the everyday cost is $129. However, lately we've seen several ads listing them for $159 or more. Recently a HCKC member found a sale ad for $109 and combined with the 20% off coupon they can be had for $88. The key is understanding what kind of coupon and ad you need to print from the internet to make this happen.

The online ad for $109 is just that, an ad; I believe it's meant for online shoppers. However, the Walzem Harbor Freight is apparently honering this online printed ad though it's difficult to find. As for the 20% off Harbor Freight coupon, this is easy to find in magazines, newspapers and online.

So, if you're interested in purchasing a Chonda motor I thought I'd post both the URL for the $109 advertisement and a URL for a 20% off coupon; in case you've had difficulty finding one.

$109 ad

20% off

I hope the URLs help, if they don't just do a Google search for Harbor Freight, or Greyhound, 6.5 engine coupons and eventually you will find the right ads.

I have saved another set of these coupons from the paper if anyone wants them. Let me know, and I can mail them.

If you go to Harbor Freight in San Antonio, watch out for the stoplight cameras in Balconies Heights [IH-10 & Crossroads Blvd]. They mailed a ticket for running a stoplight with a "clocked speed" of 49mph. The whole ticket reads like a scam with little inferences throughout making you feel like you HAVE to pay. If you "protest" the $75 "ticket", they want an additional $50 to review your protest. These things are a bluff and are illegal, but not worth the hassle.
