Actually, Basskisser, Harry, NOYB and jps post some very informative
and
accurate responses to boating questions. I agree with you about the
name-calling, and Harry could lay off that routine a bit. But it's
actually
been interesting to follow the evolution of a few of the more
civilized
people here. People have often found that they agree more than they
disagree. John H and Noah are perfect examples of that. I could live
next
door to John H and not kill him...I think.

As far as Tuuk, Wally, etc.....in every nice forest, there are weeds
and
coyote droppings.

That may be, but I'd sure as hell not let you borrow my mower!

Who cares? You're probably the type who buys a $200 mower every two years
at
the BORG, instead of ponying up like a big boy and buying a real one. :-)

For sure I don't pay more than $200 for one. My last one lasted almost
nine years, 'til I hit a metal spike and bent the crankshaft. That
mower never had an oil change nor a quart of oil added. Briggs and
Stratton engines are bullet proof. I wish I had one in my boat.

My next door neighbor must have about $600 invested in his POS Honda.
Every spring he has to take it in to get it tuned and started. It is
much prettier than mine though. I'd buy a Honda if I could put a B & S
engine on it. They're pretty.

I've got a Toro Super Recycler with a B&S IC Quite 6HP four stroke and it is
an amazing mowing machine. I've had it for 5 years now and plan on having it
for another 10 or 15, it starts up with one or two pulls every time. I
change the spark plug and air filter each spring.
