I've got ceilng fans that are over 20 years old ... made in America. No problems.
I've had lawn mowers over 15 years old ... made in America. No problems.
I've had snow blowers over 10 years old ... made in America. No problems.
I just bought a new snow blower last February and had to replace the carb last month .... made in China.

The carb issue may or may not be due to the manufacturer,; many modern carbs are over-simplified and do not react well to the ethanol blended gasoline in use today. I very well remember the days of gasahol back in the 70’s, family truckster broke down regularly.

Sometimes it’s best to nurse that old stuff with TLC rather than replace with new problematic stuff.

Unfortunately it’s difficult to get repair parts for 20+ yr old stuff.
