I agree that Briggs' reputation for making good engines 35 years ago is intact, Ty - the rubbery-covered lead is still rubbery-covered, and I doubt it will give any future trouble, which couldn't be said for a plastic-covered lead that has suffered HT breakdown. Still, I could wish they made things a bit easier for the mug home-mechanic by designing the thing Japanese style, so there is only one way it can go together. (I'm obliged to wish that, having been caught out - but I also think their design would not suit a modern assembly line, where everything has to be designed so it just about falls together and comes out perfectly.)
