Thanks for that interesting info Darryl. smile

The engine on the Pionex edger is older than I expected but I have since found out that my Pionex is two models older than the current one I posted in the link above.
Below is the model after mine and prior to the current two front wheel model;

So mine is probably closer to 6 or 7 yrs old really and depending on when the B&S motor arrived in Australia, sat on a pallet unsold, then sat in an unsold Pionex edger, the years probably add up. Still, I'm happy with a like new edger for $150.

The age of the Rover 45 engine is also a bit older than I imagined for a new one but he did say that he goes to surplus machinery auctions to buy them cheaper.

Is it okay for a new B&S engine to sit idle for a some years?
