f7ben Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Why didn’t the Fed bail them out like every other failing business? is it because they weren’t a bank or hedge fund and actual Americans worked there instead of just pathetic corrupt vampire financiers ?

Yeah have to say they're friggin junk, compared a Honda motor not even close. And I had a small position in the stock. Fuck. Maybe it will be like Hertz and spike back up before crashing and burning.

Carlos Danger Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 CCF01042015_0004.pdf There I was an 8 year old with what I thought was the finest driving vehicle to ever grace the earth. Unfortunately it was not to be as that 5 hp briggs gave up under the strain of my repeated abuse and the little connecting rod came right out the side of the case. it would run again but never under Briggs and Stratton power. To this day i am not fond of B&S. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That three wheeled devil on wheels shit out something the parts man referred to as the "sparker box". Like $75 for a little metal box with 1 wire sticking out of it. It as a bitch to get that mower far enough apart to get to it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think the Subaru small engine is the best going right now. seeing more and more of them. Honda's do run nice .....a couple of pulls and if it is going to run it will.
