Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

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

Briggs And Stratton engines are far better engines.

Termy===I have some mighty good Brigg,s engines.  Would not hesitate to buy another.---Your friend-Will

I had an old 3.5 or 3.8 Tecumdeh that ran without any service at all for 12 yrs. Finally it needed an air filter and new oil. It couldn't breath any longer, needed new lungs.

The 3.8 engine I have now is a horrible bear to start.   It might need some work done.
