An example of the quality of plastic gears occured here, two 5.5hp motors, one a Honda, and the other a Honda clone, both made in China(both were junk, not going), the Honda was quite damaged so put it aside. Got the clone going, but the govenor would not work, the plastic gear had collapsed, took the one out of the Honda, and although it had done many more hours it was just like new. The refurbished motor now runs a saw bench for cutting firewood. Just a bit OT, could not get a spark at first, then found that if the oil gets below a certain level, the ignition switches off.

Hi Neil,

 

Exactly, and that’s what I expected, but David says that he did not receive the report message and it was for what I believed was spam and looked to alert the moderator, not issue a general message.

 

Best regards

That’s quite common on small four-strokes intended for unattended running.

Yes Neil, its a great idea, had me puzzled for a while though, disabled the sensor, and got a spark, so it wasn’t hard to work out then. Both motors are made in the same factory, but with different standards of materials. There’s a web site some were telling which components tio change to Honda parts, it will then give at least 2000hrs against a Brigg & Stratton at 600 hrs. Sorry we’r wandering OT but it shows that there is a difference in the plastics used in these situations. Ian S C

My Briggs & Stratton powered lawnmower has so far made it through ten summers. A lot less than 600 hours, more like 60, but it has already required some creative maintenance, mostly around keeping the carb joints airtight with new o-rings every couple of years.
