Briggs and Stratton E300 Engine

It says "No need to change the oil".

Translation: "Please blow it up soon and come back to buy another one. Soon."

I see I can buy a replacement E300 engine for $75.

That sounds good but is scary when you think of quality. And you wonder how long that price will last with the trade wars that's going to happen. I just had a buddy order all the parts I need for my Chevy Cobalt before the prices go thru the roof !

If it poops out, I'm going to tear it down and compare it with some clones I have. I doubt I'd buy a replacement. For being 125cc's it does have torque.

You'll probably be OK because you sound like a man who takes care of your equipment and that's where you get longevity. I come up the Hard way so that's made me mechanically incline. Had to drag home a lot of used junk and make it shine. But that's what makes us survivors ! LOL

I do keep up maintenence on all my power equipment. I like to keep everything in running shape. I'm fortunate to have a station that sells ethanol free gas, which really helps keep my 2-cycle posse dependable. I have a Bobcat Zero-turn with 54 hours on it. I've changed the oil 5 times already. I recently serviced the hydros. They weren't even due until 75 hours, then every 200 hours after that. Mostly OCD. Lol.

I've been wanting an early model Lawn-Boy 2-cycle push mower. A good specimen is big money. I heard you can still buy a new 2-cycle mower from Mexico. Don't know if that true, though.
