The only thing worse than a Tecumseh is a B&S-just drop the & and all you have is BS. I have never owned an import engine, including Honda, so I can't speak for them. Onan always made the longest running engines, but people no longer wanted to pay the premium price. Eventually, they were being sold only for commercial welders and powering reefer units on semi-trailers, along with some generators. I still have at least 2 Onan engines used regularly. Kohler makes a good engine, I have several and have no complaints. Briggs, even the best ones, are marginal. I have several, just because there was no choice on the equipment I wanted.

Engine is just junk with about 250 hours. I wont sell it, don't want to stick anyone else with it, so it sits in the corner of the shed. Replaced it with a Kohler powered Toro-problem solved. A quick look around the shed shows 2 Onan's, 6 Kohlers', 5 B&S, and 3 Tecumseh engine powered machines.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
