    Default Briggs and Stratton motor repair?

    Does anyone know of a good small motor repair guy?
    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    You can also get replacement motors at the Sears repair center / outlet center on Spring Valley, just west of I35E

    I thought B&S made small engines. Do they make motors too?

    Briggs & Stratton -
    Cordless Electric Mower

    We collaborated with Briggs & Stratton to design a lightweight, cordless electric mower for urban sized lots.

    The objective was to create an easily maneuverable lawn mower, that uses interchangeable battery packs instead of one large permanent battery, to keep weight to a minimum without compromising running time.

    Product operation is simple with features like easy to change battery packs, safety key and single point height adjustment.

    The 2-piece design allows for multiple color options for brand differentiation.

    For more information. please contact Brooks Stevens Design at 262.376.9180.

    Not likely. I had an electric lawnmower that had a tendency to need me to taker it apart and fix it every few months. The motor was REALLY heavy.

    Oh well. I'm sure I can find an alternative





    That's a full-scale plane

    One of the options I'm considering when I get my sport pilot license (not the electric version though, LOL)

    NICE!

    I like the paint scheme too... do you think he'd let me check it out sometime? Where's he based?

    Hillcrest in Keller.
    Hard to catch him now days. He has been in the hanger for two years. He is flying most of the time now.
    The twin looks just like this one but in yellow/white and black accents.
    VW power. Not Briggs and Stratton. Got to keep the post relevant.
