One complaint on that one though, it does backfire once in a while when you kill the engine. Our 8-9 year old push mower with a 5hp BS, same thing. The previous mower, 10 years, had a 3hp BS that we could not kill. Never changed the oil for 6 years and it had water in it when I did change it. We had this at our duplex for the tenants to use. Everything else went to crap on the mower though and finally junked it. |
Ditto on the B&S. I used to hate them, but lately I'm liking them a lot. They all start and run just great, and last just fine. They're a bit noisier, not as torquey, and don't last as long as the Robin and Honda engines. But,,, they're not as expensive either.
