Tecumseh vs Briggs and Stratton

Hi all I am looking at buying a petrol powered pressure washer. I have the choice of either a Tecumseh LV195 or Briggs and Stratton Quantum engine. I own a lawn mower with the B&S Quantum and have no complaints as yet. Was after a unit with the Tecumseh engine (liked it because of the cast iron sleeve and pressure oil feed) but was talked out of it by the sales person. From memory I think it was a spare parts/warranty issues in Australia. Would like to get the opinions of others.... pros & cons of both engines Thanks in advance |

either engine should be fine for use on a pressure washer. they just dont get enough hours on them for the engine to wear any amount. the pump on the other hand is usually the cause for concern.do your shopping for the best pump you can find. as will said tecumseh dosent take a back seat to briggs in that engine . will has a Sterling engine and its better than just about anything out there at this time. later chris
