Squizzy, any idea where B&S motors are built these days, I guess there is a good chance they come from China as well, seems like everything else does. The reason why it has never been truer that people want the cheapest is because there is now a lot more cheaper options out there.With the internet people can easily see what people all around the world are paying for things and in Aus we get screwed over on so much stuff. I wanted a stator for a Honda motorbike, a dealer here wanted over $500 for it, I got it delivered from the States for $125
