I'm 77 and have always mowed my own lawn and mowers with Briggs and Stratton engines always last longer than ones I have had with other engine makes. When I don't hit a stump and bend the shaft the Briggs and Stratton engine always out lasts the frames. If I keep the air filter clean and don't snag the carburator springs and stretch them, they always keep running like new. You build the best engines.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Does 450 series push mower have a throttle control?
I ask this question as I own this mower and its seems to have throttle control fitted (marked "J" in the manual) but not attached to any spring or wire. I am having a few problems with mower cutting out and wonder if this is the problem. I have owned the mower for 4 months and used it about 10 times . As you can probably tell I am no mechanic!
For the last 7 or 8 years, the ones I've bought do not have a throttle control. They run at a pre-set speed. They have only given me a problem when the filter needs cleaning or when I snagged the throttle spring on a bush and streched it out of shape. During the dry and dusty season the filter needs cleaning frequently.
