yeah, crabbie, we still have no proof as to how good that deal will go... you should remember- if everybody that can operate a lawnmower allasudden gets a B&S motor on their innertube, we're gonna be hurtin for a decent fishin spot. :p

B&S motor has some interesting posts here. Search and read. Sloopy has one, but as you read, he's busy doing the school stuff tonight. They are selling them a t B&S dealers, Cabelas, and some big box stores.

You should be able to pick one of these up for around $5.00 in a couple years. You'll probably see the foot of one sticking out of someones trash can :eek: Clean the carb, a new plug and you'll be good to go. ;) <br /><br />The same yahoos that mistreat their lawnmowers will do the same with these.<br /><br />I haven't PAID for a lawnmower in 20 years. Just plugs, oil and air filters. :)

The best of both worlds. A lawnmower that won't start coupled with an outboard motor that won't start. Ah, good times!

Can sympathise with ebb on this one. <br /><br />JackShellac: I have found, given 'reasonable' care, BS engines to be extremely reliable and long lived at their price point.<br /><br />Nothing makes any product better than the care it is afforded but it still rings true that silk purses are not made from pig's ears ;)
