You can`t find a Tecumseh engine on a snowthrower anymore either. I hope Tecumseh is still in business? I think they are just as good a any Briggs and Stratton I`ve had.
I can tell you this…I have an older Strikemaster with a Tecumseh motor. I needed a new carb for it a couple weeks ago. My mechanic told me that Tecumseh had gone out of business and it may be some time before he can get me a carb. He did say that he new of a guy in Wisconsin that had some parts so he was going to check….He called me two weeks later and said it wouldnt be till May until i got the part. He ended up taking a part from another similar carb and fixed it.
