I am exempted due to being the officer of my corporation.

The bigger the better. Macs are too mild for me. I average about 2/wk I am currently working on a box of Partagas black. Torpedo's are always the fav. This is really a dynamite smoke. Some of mother other fav's Romeo y julieta reserve Trinidad montechristo #2 La gloria cubana. there are sooo many I realy love. And living in tampa, the cigar capital...I really get to indulge

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???

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.

I am considering purchasing a honda 13hp with a cat 5gpm 300psi unit. I am looking for some reviews if any body would be so kind as to enlighten me.

its a Annovi Reverberi Triplex Plunger Pump and yes its the 4 bolt kind. So even though this guy is telling me that the engine is blown and has metals shavings in it you still think it may be the pump?

Quick poll here. What methods of advertising do you folks use and why? Does anyone have any experience with service magic and if so what are their thoughts / sucesses.

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?

Well I am by no means a seasoned proffesional but I do have this advice... I use mostly chlorine but I buy my chlorine from a pool supplier. Its a 12% solution which is double anything you will find in the store. Its also alot cheaper. I pay $1.00 per gallon.
