Big Sale Is On - UPDATED 03-26-26

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

Just something for fun

Does anyone know why or have a good guess as to why engines made now a days only show their displacement (cc) instead of hp anymore. I'll give you a hint, briggs was what did it, but what did they do???

Well back in the day when Gary worked for briggs briggs had I think it was the 12 13 and 14 horse engines. And all they did to make a difference was tighten the governor so it would run faster. They didn't change the carb bore valves nothing. And the gov. got on their butts.
