I love my walk behind. I wish I didn't run it to the grave. I might have to replace the honda engine for about 300$. I might as well spend the extra and get riding one.

I run often so excercise is not a selection criteria

If you are mechanically inclined enough those Honda engines are very easy to rebuild. I hit a small hidden stump with mine and bent the crankshaft. $36 shipped for a new Honda crank and a few hours putting it in. New set of Honda blades and it cranked up on the first pull and has been running fine the whole season so far. Only tricky part is having a jaw-puller big enough for the flywheel and being very careful removing it from the crank. Very thin cast aluminum, I used some heat and plenty of Kroil.

Replace the Honda motor with a much cheaper Predator. They are starting to build a very good reputation for longevity, and ya cant beat the price.
