    Thanks for the advice. I purchsed this unit from amazon so I dont know what help they can give me but I did contact Briggs. They are sending a tech out to look at the unit and offer another opinion since I dont like what the repair center told me. I will see how that goes. Maybe if that doesnt work I will contact amazon and see if they can help.

    At this point I have decided to buy the honda/cat system. But I still would like to get this unit fixed so I have a backup.

    Ok.

    Here is my problem. I am using a briggs and stratton 10hp 4 gpm 3300psi machine I bought 7 months ago.

    I have been in business since the first of the year. I have probably done about 50 jobs.

    I am meticulous about maintaining my equipment so I have changed the oil in both the pump and the engine more than I needed to.

    I also ALWAYS check the oil b4 I start operating.

    Last week I am out on a job and after washing a pool deck I come around the corner an notice my engine/pump is now sitting at an angle on the cart. I shut down the unit and see that my two front engine mounts have sheared off.

    Well I dont have much left do at the job so I put a brick under the unit to keep it level and finished the house. About a half hours work. When I tried to restart the unit I couldnt not pull the cord. The engine was totally siezed.

    So take to an authorized warranty repair place and after a week this clown tells me I ran the unit out of oil. He said I tried to cover this fact up because he found fresh oil on top. THIS IS TOTAL BS. I would never have done that and cant fathom why he would say this or arrive at this conclusion.

    So here I am out 900 bucks with no warrenty on a blown engine.

    Any suggestions???

    Greetings all.

    I just joined this forum a couple of days ago. I have read quite a bit of the threads and must say I am impressed with what I see. Quite a bit of proffesionalism here and certainly a plethora of knowledge.

    I started a pw biz a couple of months ago. Nothing really formal. Just myself and my father in law and hanging some flyers around the neighborhood type deal.

    I am now ready to move forward and make this a "legitimate" Biz.

    I have a nice pw 12hp 4gpm 3400 psi. I also have a trailer and a s16" whirlaway.

    My questions:

    What type of company do you folks reccommend and why? IE corporation / sole proprietership etc etc.

    Why type of insurance and how much of it do you recomend.

    Any other suggestions?
