I recently picked up an abused 4000psi pressure washer with a 13HP Briggs & Stratton engine on it.
It had a leak on the hose reel that had constantly dripped water onto the fuel tank filler cap.
As a result, the tank and entire fuel system was full of water and corrosion.
I stripped all the fuel system and cleaned it out and repaired it, and took the head off while I was at it.
The engine was in good condition, it looked like it had done only a small amount of work.
I ground the valves, and put it back together, and it runs a treat.
However, here's the funny part. The engine sports a huge Stars & Stripes decal alongside the name.
But when I stripped the engine down, I found a decal under the fan cowling that said the engine was MADE IN CHINA - and NOT FOR SALE IN ANY STATE OF AMERICA! LOL
But it was obviously good enough to sell to us dumb Aussies, with a big Yank flag plastered on it, to aid the sale!
Talk about Trump bullsXXt salesmanship!!
Cheers, Ron.
