I guess I have been using Vanguard and Briggs & Stratton engines ever since I took one off an old edger to power my first mini-bike some 45 years ago. That engine had run for years and even our abuse on the minibike couldn't kill it. Since then, I have had countless B & S and Vanguard engines on mowers, pumps, edgers, power washers and, most recently, two generators.
Recently during a power failure my neighbor needed a generator and I dragged out mine which had not been run in two years. I regularly change the fuel and oil in between seasons. It started on the first pull.
