            Briggs and stratton are on most makes and are very reliable. The Honda would be my choice although would cost more. Smoother and quieter.

                Depends on the speed and distance travelled.

                          i'd only get a roller model, had a mountfield years ago, was best one i had
                          since then had a mountfield 4 wheeler, and a cheap garden king 4 wheeler,
                          all self propeller
