I bought one of those for $99 at Harbor Freight for our log splitter after the B&S croaked. It was a direct bolt in replacement. :thumbsup:

They are a Honda clone and you can really soup them up...a lot of the same high performance parts for the Honda's fit the 212...
By just changing the carb. or the jets and the exhaust they will put out over 10 HP...(it's advised to change to a billet flywheel)

look at some of the sites at the link below...some claim getting up to 26HP out of a 212 Predator...!

Amazing someone would feel that way....

I learned that from watching Star Trek cause Spock always used to say “ Live long and PROSPER “

I certainly can’t understand it.

What’s more difficult to understand is why anyone would oppose common sense approaches like quarantine for those who are most vulnerable while the rest of us continue to support the economy.

Heard today that if we don’t open things up the food supply is threatened because of breaks in the supply chain.

Here is a question: if South Dakota was the State with the biggest numbers of infected CV patients and NYC was the lowest, do you think NYC would shelter in place? Obviously NO.

My opinion: They focused on a mask protecting the person who wears it and therefore if you were not wearing an N95 or N100 mask it was worthless. Several of the threads right here on TBN discussed the size of the particles a person sneezed or coughed when it reached the other person. The medical community eventually began focusing on the fact the particles that are sneezed or coughed can be stopped by simple material, N95 and N100 masked were not needed, if the infected but asymptomatic carrier, meaning, if everyone wears a mask when around others, everyone is protected.

Unfortunately, there are still people who think a mask protects them. It doesn't. It protects others. Not wearing a mask is height of self-centeredness.

It offers some protection both ways. Anyone who has used their open station tractor in a dusty environment knows that even a bandanna over the nose and mouth helps a lot. They showed early on that countries that habitually wear masks because of flu, the infection numbers were lower, yet the US was being told not to wear masks.

I keep a red binder in my basement with names, addresses, contacts, accounts, passwords, location of septic tank... all the important stuff, just in case we can't access things on-line after the apocalypse. :rolleyes:

So you have a binder to help you find your sh...., crap.

I need a 12 hp vertical to replace a B&S in my old wheel horse rider. Can’t find one that fits.

And speaking of Briggs and Stratton, I just came in from mowing the lawn. I wore my facemask. Of course I wore one before I ever heard of Covid-19. Dang allergies.

I wear one mowing also, it helps me.

I'm a bit miffed at Briggs & Stratton right now...
For something (different) to do while staying home...A neighbor said I could have a go kart frame that had been sitting under a lean to on their barn...I went and got it last evening and it is a Murray frame and other than a seized engine it is in very good shape...doing some research on the brand they are out of business and were bought out by B&S....turns out that they wanted nothing to do with the brand and actually destroyed the entire stock of the parts inventory...(rather than liquidating it via a third party vendor and keep the parts in the market place)...

I just KNEW you were gonna say :

Tecumseh...
