i woudn't own one if you gave it to me Norm.
they are so poorly made and usually have no spares back up,
they are purely imported to sell to suckers thinking their getting a good deal.
sorry if it sounds harsh, but from experience i can't not tell it as it is.
as i said, BUYER BEWARE!!!
the old briggs are made to rebuild and there's still plenty of spares out there for them,
i would ALWAYS use a good/rebuilt briggs before one of those things
your right to sean, there's plenty of 'non operating ' ride ons out there, and many have perfectly good motors on them!
