definitely agree wit staying away from the Briggs single cylinder engines. I have one on my JD e100 and its a piece of junk. Camshaft broke after like 80 hours and the head gasket it goin bad on it at like 150 hours. The one good thing is that you can buy cheap aftermarket parts because they really can't get that much worse than OEM. But so far, zero issues out of my v-twin Briggs on my z515e at 185 hours

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing. Are you up for a collaboration? Hipa supplies parts for small engines
and I noticed that you're a mechanic with lot of knowledge on small engine repair, maybe we would work together to help more people in the community?

[@The_Craftsman_Garage]

Sure, what exactly would that involve? I have a few spark plugs from Hipa and they seem to work ok. Are you requesting a sponsorship or free products to review?
