Well this may be shocking.......Briggs Opposed Twins!

Flatheads are easy and reliable. ANd there is no flathead that has the power of an opposed twin!
I also enjoy other flathead twins, Kohlers, Onans, but those are harder to find, Briggs are a dime a dozen.

I'm going to have to say personally a flathead Briggs! They are relatively easy to work on, and were one of the first engines that I managed to teardown and rebuild on my own without the help of my dad, friends, or brothers...plus they are simple enough for a blonde to understand.

Well I am a bit differnt... I love working on the Tecumseh V-Twins. Nothing like em. They are a different breed and not many people run or even want to be near them. LONG LIVE THE INDIANS.

If the Briggs is like a small block chevy I might need to get a Tecumseh or a Kohler!!!!

You never win a race by focusing on one aspect of the race!  Motor isn't everything, but you better have a good one!  Chassis too!  But remember, a driver can take a slow machine and make it faster!  I may not have/be the best of any of these but I'm trying!
