Gotcha, thanks for the correction. Though I'll say if we're not there yet on understanding LT reliability, we have to be really close, as Ariens switched to using exclusively their own branded engines (manufactured by LCT) in 2014. Ten years without any major or widely-reported issues is a fairly good start.I didn't say or even imply that country of origin was a differentiator for small engines. I said, to be specific, that the long term reliability of the current crop of Ariens engines has not been demonstrated. There is a lot of great manufacturing being done in China today and hopefully, the Ariens motors are on that path.
