Magnum 18 of all the things said on how much better they are electronic ignition is worth all the trouble sooo much better in my opinion (and most others) even if you find a KT17 series II. When I invest time, money in changing an engine I always confirm the engine before doing it. Als B&S Vanguard would be a find engine, and seem to be more plentiful used. I think everyone has given you good advice on replacing your engine with a known good KT17 series II (research series II well if you don't already know) a magnum 18 (cream of the crop) and B&S Vanguard

Well said, I couldn't agree more.
The engines are out there, one just has to be patient if possible, and do their homework.
