It depends. If society is to break down, give me the old style 9HP Tecumseh - I could keep that piece of gear going the rest of my natural life, and it can be modified to run on almost any fuel.
That's if the B&S 250cc engine in question is an overhead valve design. If the B&S is also a flathead design, then it's the better choice. All things equivalent, Briggs and Stratton was always a hair ahead of a Tecumseh (but don't tell that to my Tecumseh powered MTD snow blower... :).
If you value quiet and efficient operation over "being able to fix it with Chewing Gum and baler twine", and trust that society will not break down, then an OHV design is the way to go.
BTW - don't believe all the hype of OHV being all that much more efficient over L-head or flat head (which means valves in block) designs. They are a little, but only because they are a bit more maintenance free than the older engines. If one takes the time to maintain and tune the older style, they are every bit as fuel sipping, yet usually have the ability to pull in more throttle under load. On the other hand, OHV makes more torque and doesn't need as much throttle under load. <shrug> YMMV.

What belts are on a roper 08 26 snowblower?
A Roper 08 26 snowblower typically has two main belts: the drive belt and the auger belt. The drive belt connects the engine to the wheels, allowing the snowblower to move, while the auger belt connects the engine to the auger, enabling it to scoop and throw snow. If you're looking for specific part numbers or replacements, it's best to consult the owner's manual or contact a Roper dealer for accurate information.
What is the torque on a 5 hp Tecumseh?
The torque on a 5 hp Tecumseh engine typically ranges from about 10 to 15 foot-pounds, depending on the specific model and operating conditions. Torque is a measure of the rotational force produced by the engine, and for small engines like those produced by Tecumseh, it is crucial for applications such as lawn equipment and generators. To get an exact torque value, it's best to consult the engine's specifications in the owner's manual or manufacturer documentation.
What is the correct spark plug for 10 hp Tecumseh?
The correct spark plug for a 10 hp Tecumseh engine is typically the Tecumseh part number 59065 or an equivalent, such as the Champion H80C or the NGK BPR6ES. However, it's always best to consult the engine's manual or the manufacturer's specifications for precise recommendations, as variations may exist based on the engine model and production year. Ensure to check the gap specification and adjust if necessary for optimal performance.
What is the hp from a 277cc snowblower?
The horsepower (hp) of a 277cc snowblower typically ranges from about 7 to 9 hp. This is because a general rule of thumb is that 1 hp is approximately equivalent to 15-20cc of engine displacement. Therefore, the exact hp can vary depending on the specific engine design and manufacturer specifications. For precise information, it's best to consult the manufacturer's documentation.
