Byron - What horsepower is this engine? I don't have my Briggs reference
manual at hand.  5 hp is the minimum I would recommend for a Merry.
Optimally I would use an I/C class engine.  This has a steel sleeve in the
piston.  It wears much better.  I actually prefer Honda engines on most of
my rental equipment, but since tillers, even at a rental store, are highly
seasonal, the Briggs I/C lasts just fine.  Advice to all gardners - Change
the oil in your engines before doing any serious work for spring.  Run the
engine for 10-15 minutes prior to changing oil.  Then, throughout the
season, change oil at 12-15 hours of operation.  Clean the air filter EVERY
TIME you change the oil.
