i cant see why everyone raves about Hondas, because these victas and most Briggs are capable of starting just as easily!

Hi Jay, owning both a Honda (G100) and a full crank Victa, which are both very reliable, all I can say is, if the engine is maintained and serviced correctly, it should start easily. But unfortunately some people don't (or won't) service their machines
until they break down or won't start.

As for Hondas, just ask a contractor what engine he uses on his mowers......
