Is the snow king engine by Tecumseh as good as the polar force pro engine by Briggs and Stratton?

I personally feel that it is a superior engine. The L-Head design is simple, time-tested, and burns everything well-- old gas, new gas, gas with ethanol, gas that has stabilizer in it, etc. Mine have always started easily and seem to be well thought out in terms of do-it-yourself maintenance. They are louder than Briggs and run a little bumpy, but they are powerful and long-lasting.
Briggs seems to make better warm-weather engines. Their upper-line lawnmower and summer equipment engines are decent, but stay away from the cold weather lines.
Top two for snowblowers in my opinion-- Honda and Tecumseh. Honda is probably stronger in the smaller sizes, and Tecumseh is a better value and offers better power on the larger sizes.
Just one man's experience. Hope this helps.

Are the Briggs and stratton 249cc polar force 1150 series engines made in the US?
No, they are made in China to Ariens & Briggs specifications.
Do the Briggs and Stratton polar force engines have a cast iron sleeve?
Yes, according to the Brigg's site..
What is the horsepower of a 205cc Briggs and stratton snowblower engine?
The Vanguard series is rated at 6.5 HP. Most small engines these days are no longer rated by HP but, rather torque. Several models of Briggs 205cc engines are rated at either 8 or 9 ft/lbs of torque. I can also add that the "Intek" and "Polar Force" series of the 205cc class are rated at 9 ft/lbs torque and 7.5 HP.
Why does the governor stick open on your 20 hp Briggs and stratton mower engine?
Probably some debris or goop buildup on the bearing or the area where the governor shaft fits into the engine. Try cleaning the area well and spray with lubricant (WD-40, et al) and then "rock" the governor lever to loosen any remaining buildup. Re-spray the area. The governor has very little movement, so don't try to force it.
How do you adjust carb Briggs and stratton 12hp?
If the engine starts: Let the engine warm up for about 5 minutes and S-L-O-W-L-Y close the needle valve (rotate clockwise) until the engine starts to stall for lack of fuel. Then open the needle valve (rotate counter clockwise) until the engine starts to stall because of too much fuel. Set to half-way between the two extremes. If the engine doesn't start: Close the needle valve by screwing it in clockwise just to a point where you feel it stop - DO NOT FORCE IT!! or you will ruin the tip. Open the needle valve about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns. This should be okay to start the engine and then follow the procedure above. If the engine hesitates under a load, open the needle valve about 1/8 turn for a slightly richer mixture. This is the basic standard procedure with nearly all Briggs motors.
I ran over a stick and now why won't my Task force electric mower start?
there is three things that could have part of the stick may be jamed in the mower still, you may have bent the blade, or you may have bent the shaft the blade mounts to Good thoughts but this is definitely it... You sheared the shear pin and now the timing is off. The flywheel on top has a little slot in it where it connects to the motor shaft, to line it up for the timing of the engine. There is a key way, most of the time it is aluminum. This is done on purpose so that if you run over something that stops the engine, it will shear the pin and stop the motor instead of damaging the actual engine. The pin only costs a couple of dollars, but you need to remove the crank and get a puller to pull the flywheel off to replace the cheap little key way. Go to a home repair center or a lawn mower repair center and get a package of key ways for your engine for starters. There are only a few types, depending on if your engine is Briggs and Stratton, or Tecumseh.
What is the coil gap for a Briggs and stratton 6hp motor?
20 thousandths of an inch will suffice. Fairly forgiving ..........loosen the coil and place a standard business card between flywheel and coil. Allow magnetic force from flywheel to pull together and sandwich card between flywheel and coil. Tighten coil. This will work fine.
What was Tecumseh 's point of view on the War of 1812?
Tecumseh was trying to gather Native Americans to force the American Settlers to leave the area. So, I'm guessing that Tecumseh was kind of in the middle. Somebodyimprovemy answer, please, because I need to know the real answer too. After all, I'm only 12.
