Depends on how patient you are and how much time you have on your hands but you may be well ahead to get a new engine. Lots of choices out there but I am fond of B&S over Tecumseh. Have never owned a Kohler but they are highly touted. Hondas are great engines but they are really expensive. Shop around and you"ll get a good deal. No matter what you get it sounds like you will be way ahead of what you have now. 8hp would be one I would want a compression release on. I"ve got a 10hp Tecumseh on a generator and I hate it. I can"t get it started when I need it and the recoil starter broke on it after about 1 year. It"s got so much compression that you need arms like Popeye to fire it off. Worst engine I"ve ever owned and I"ve got less than 1 hour total time on it.
