I have a "back up" mower that is only used infrequently, mostly when one of the family wants to help out...
It's a late model Masport in great condition but the 5hp Briggs on it has decided that it's time is up so I am pondering alternatives.
I don't want to purchase another Honda and was thinking of repowering it, a new B & S engine runs to about $300.00 and a new Honda 5.5hp engine is around $600.00 which is a little expensive for a back up mower.
However for about the same price as a new Briggs I can get a new 5.5hp Honda copy made in China.
Has anyone had any experience with these units...are they reliable and value for money or should I just buy another Briggs?
Your feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers
Premier
