G'day
LRTI worked for Briggs in a senior position for many years.
I understood the difference between a restricted line (Honda) and full-line engine maker (B&S).
Briggs would always suffer criticism because of this.
Many Briggs engines were mis-matched for their application and audience.
I was always frustrated by that.
Since the 1960s, Honda was always the benchmark for quality small stationary engines.
Briggs caught up in the 1970s with its I/C and then Vanguard lines.
Since then, Briggs has kept its dominance by
observation and
vision.
I have no doubt it has been inspired by Honda's efforts in making the best small engines.
B&S history - now spanning over a century - reveals the tenaciousness of the company
in maintaining its dominance ...
Briggs is a survivor ...
