"Suzuki, and Tecumseh engines.
It is true that by the late sixties, Briggs was their preferred power unit."
I've seen a couple Victas and Rovers with the Tecumseh engine..I had something else on ebay not long back with the Tecumseh, possibly a Morrison...that turned out to be the only Tecumseh-powered anything I've ever picked up that actually ran..so the impression I have is that they are a bugger of an engine, as well as naturally being about 3X as difficult and expensive to buy a part for as a Briggs..apparently Tecumseh in US has now actually folded altogether..they're big, though, their units, I think they were all @209cc, ones I'd had here...so they probably go, when they go..
it seems conclusive with Colda and that mower and mine, because that image I was sent this morning, is a 100% match.I cannot see any difference at all, same red tank , shaped like that, mounted up like that, rubber mountings on end,same aluminium cowl, his restored one has the actual plastic height knob where mine just has bolt/nut remaining, same position..
all details match, cannot see any deviation.
