I agree Norm
I believe a few of their motors are alright (the higher the number, the better generally) but if I were in the market, I would sooner buy a kwaka or Honda and not take the chance.
With what Briggs did to Victa, they had it coming.
The number of those OHV's I now have seen which either spit oil out of the breather, or smoke like a chimney after only a few uses is mind boggling. 1 guy got a single mow out of his.
The L heads were at least hard to kill - if not smooth or powerful
