Would a Honda lump prove more reliable and last longer?
Anyway.....I also need a new mower.
£200-£450.
.
Youll need to throw another couple of hundred more than your maximum to get a Honda Izy 18 cut, or another grand more than your maximum for the Honda HRX series 20 cut, or another twelve hundred for a Toro (Kawasaki engine). Some of the bigger cut Toros are over two and a half grand.
Now can you see why B & S are so popular.
Ive mentioned on here before that I had a Honda Izy sat under my bench for around four years. The petrol had long since evaporated so I put some fresh petrol in it. It started first pull.
I believe TB had one but mistreated it by subjecting it to volcanic temperatures and melting it.
The decks eventually rot out on the earlier Izy though.
