2019 or 2020 Pony engine is smoking badly and making a bottom end noise in medium grass height. Obviously it needs replacing or junk the entire thing. The current engine is a 439cc Troy Bilt branded engine - more likely a Briggs. Is there a direct replacement engine with more power. If I decide to fix it I would rather go with more power and torque. If this is feasible, what is the size and where would one purchase it? Thank you.
In november lat year one of my suppliers announced that they were going to distribute Loncin Engines , put out a price list for engines & parts
In December they listed the parts as in stock ( and they were ) to date the first container load of engines have not landed that was due in January .
All of the private importers of Loncin Engines all have limited or no stock of the same single engine so suggest Loncin is having supply problems .
The 2 private distributors who used to sell Ducar engines have 0 stock at the moment as well .
Apparently the situation with Lifan is similar but I see any Lifan engines in my shop.
China has a command economy and at present the current administration is weaponising trade to a very high level so if any government critisizes it they instruct the exporters not to despatch goods and find some pretend reason to prevent imports landing
They rejected a batch of Aussie beef because it was supposedly contaminated with a pathogen that we do not have in Australia and they have previously done the same with lobsters
