Recommend me a new push mower

I have a 2 year old Craftsman with a Briggs & Stratton 6.75 engine. The mower is great unless you shut it off to empty the bag or refuel on a hot day then it takes a freaking hour to cool down and start again.
Recommend me a better push mower. I don't want to deal with this shite every summer.

Any mower with a Honda engine on it.

I had a Honda HRX for many years until I decided to get a small ZTR. Cranked every time and left an amazing cut. No problems at all.
Its going at the end of the driveway next weekend with a for sale sign on it.

Honda.
Mine has a Honda 160 engine and isn't self propelled or anything like that. Have never had to pull the rope more than once since I brought it home.

Cheaper potion is Troybuilt with a Honda engine.
Next option is to get a Honda mower. They are expensive but worth it

Either look on Craigslist/Facebook for a used Honda, or go to Lowe's and get the troy built with the Honda engine. Was $250 when I bought it 7 years ago. Still starts on the 1st pull. Very very low maintenance.

Thanks everybody. Sounds like I'm buying a Honda.

If you could wait until the end of the season you can pick up a Honda mower much cheaper. I got the GCV160 rear self-propelled for less than $300 last Fall.

Bought a Troy Bilt TB240 for my folks. Has a Honda engine.
No problems yet. Built sturdier than most other brands I've seen.

I would buy Honda 10/10 times. They dont make a ZTR and I am tired of baking in the sun for 2 hours each week. If it rains and I cant get it done a week and have to double cut, 3.5 hours.
Itll be in Denham for first buyer next Saturday, price coming shortly.

I have the husqvarna rear wheel drive with Honda engine. I really am blown away at how reliable and easily it cranks up.

I have a Honda, but it doesn't start any better than my last three Briggs engines. It's just better overall for other reasons. Mostly blades and bagging.

Yep. Get the husky with Honda engine. Get the Awd when it goes on sale.

My Briggs & Stratton starts on the first pull. It's after I stop to refuel or empty the bagger that it won't restart for 30-45 minutes. Nobody has time for that shite.

My buddy across the street has an electric start Lawn Boy that has been flawless for him. It has a pull start for back up but the electric start has worked well for him.
He's had it for close to 10 years.

Now don't fanboy out over Honda. B&S makes very good engines, I've had several that outlasted the equipment they were bolted to. Even the "Chonda" clones in my generator and woodchipper have been easy starting and trouble-free.
As for the hot starting problems, check the valvelash. Brother had a Honda Ruckus that wouldn't restart without cool down time and a simple shim kit fixed it.
