As a kid, I had a go-cart with a Tecumseh engine in it. It SUCKED. Briggs and Stratton engines were far better.
Briggs & Honda made far superior engines.
Yeah, I had mini bikes, gokarts and landscape equipment with teecumseh engines as a kid. I definitely preferred briggs stuff. Tecumseh parts were a pain to get, and their carburetors sucked balls bigtime. I had one minibike thta would go through oil faster than gas. it was great at mosquito control.
