Please vote for which of the two well known engine brands you prefer, and reply telling me why if you wish.

I'm just interested, as I own a B&S, and my friend owns a Tecumseh. We both think our engines are reliable, but both of us are biased, so I need an unbiased opinion!
 
Briggs & Stratton and your friend likes soggy Weetabix. That's completely unbiased.
 
I think anyone voting in a poll will be biased toward the one they vote for, eh? :wink:

"Soggy Weetabix"? That is funny.....:laughing:
 
It would likely end up B&S...
Tecumseh has had a very poor reputation for quite a long time... :smile:KennyV

Maybe in Europe, but they are very much around here! Just about every snowblower in production comes with the Tecumseh "Snow King".

You should have specified old or new Teks. The old cast-iron ones rivalled Kohler in quality. They started to go downhill in the 80's.......the early aluminum-blocked Teks were pretty good engines.
