[QUOTE="Earl Thigpen, post: 524234, member: 3999"] Next to last mower I bought I specified a Kohler engine because I was so disgusted with Briggs & Stratton. Had several of those engines (B S) and they didn't last more than about 40 hours. Well, guess what, the Kohler uses so much oil I have to fill it up each time I try to use it and it's got about 50 hours on it. Thinking about hauling the mower off to the scrap metal place. I don't think the Honda or Kawi engines are any cheaper. In fact, I think they cost a lot more than a B S. I don't buy price! I buy quality! If I have to pay more to get something that will last that's what I do. BS, Kohler, Tuchumse, are you listening? Why don't you go back to cast iron liners instead of using aluminum cylinder liners. GM tried that a few years ago and see how far that got them? So I think Mr. Mahoney is right. If BS made a good engine I would be the first in line to get one. [/QUOTE]
