The biggest problem with them was/is the lack of understanding of them. You cant treat them as a normal 2 stroke. Properly maintained I don't see any reason it would not be reliable, they just simply need a bit more maintenance and care than the normal old 160
Exactly why they are a heap of s###. Why would you purchase a mower like this when there's a cheaper alternative with ample power and less to worry about?
Purely a bragging rights show piece.
