Hi Danny,
Nothing special about the Briggs mower, not too bad, all depends if it runs or not. Usually the reason the throttle breaks is because the cable has rusted up and people force the throttle control and it breaks inside.
MF,
I also have to repair our rubbish bit, it has a split in the side, obviously caused by me putting too much weight in it, but it is a rubbish bin and I put rubbish in it. I consider broken bricks and concrete to be rubbish
