Tecumseh vs Briggs and Stratton
Original Message May 24, 2005 6:54 am

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

I have an Ariens 926 Pro because I like Orange

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