I needed to ask but I think kohler are excellent motor very refine too.

b/s are up there with kohler neck to neck in dependability and quality just that briggs are cheaper

kohler has very helpful people work for them

briggs do to

Does briggs have downloadable service manuals?

they have parts diagrams and owners manuals that date back to when they started and they sell the complete cd of them for barely nothing cheap paper manuals you can buy and keep for servicing your engine and they make the micro four cycle which is nice

plus they make commercial engines, prebuilt racing engines, outboard engines, two cycles and they've been around for over 90 years

I mean free service manuals and kohler had race engines too I think kohler been around since 1920 to 1930 not sure

don't really know. but i looked at briggs racing site and i think i'm going to have to get the briggs intek ohv 305 or model 20 rather. monster torque at low rpms

305 is that the first three numbers in the model?

no thats what the website said but its called the model 20

how much hp we talking

10 below 3000 rpm

was your posts number at 150 something and it at 201 now

yeah............

I think overall, kohler is a little better.
