JimmyM - Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Now me personally...I never make misstrakes. To the OP - I want to hope that the LCT engines prove to be reliable but we won't know until a few more years pass. Reliability, at least in part, is measured in terms of longevity.

At first I was thinking "Wow his spelling is... Oh wait, I've heard of that study" I know. I was just in a $#%*y mood that day. Apologies.

I see this post is a few months old, but I am the same boat as bus708. I am looking for input on the LCT also, since I am considering an Ariens compact 24 and Sno-tek which comes with a B&S 205 cc and a LCT 208 cc respectively. I also would have preferred the Ariens Comp 22 with the Subaru. I have a pressure washer with a Subaru EX21 7 HP and it is a great running, high quality engine.
I have read good and bad about both LCT and B&S engines. The LCT has a cast iron cylinder liner ,crank ball bearings, runs smooth and has good power, but has had some carburetor problems. The carb looks to be redesigned on the newest version, but I don't know if it fixes the problems. The Briggs has more proven history, but I have heard some may be failing after 30-50 hrs and look to be lower quality now that they are made in China. Any other input on LCT and/or Brigg engines from those with experience would be appreciated.
