In Reply to: A nice and touching story about the blower …….. posted by three_sox on February 21, 2007 at 14:40:00:
At age 12 I built a mini-bike out of a 10 hp Briggs and a discarded Cushman Eagle frame. That sucker would survive stuff that killed the neighbor kids Honda 50's! Bone simple were those Briggs. Simple to repair and maintain also.It's not that I dislike Honda, it is more of a lament for the small "Mom and Pop" equipment manufacturers that all seem to have been "conglomorized" into huge corporations. Honda stuff represents the monolithic corporation to me I guess.
To prove my "sickness", I have a good dozen Briggs & Stratton and Tecumseh small engines in the shed. When I find old roto-tillers and stuff in garage sales for $5 i just have to buy them and bring them back to life.
My signature here was once "Born To Tinker". I am afraid it is true!
