i have a 1986 gdlt with a 1992 (18yrs) 16hp briggs, i took it off a pressure washer years ago and i couldnt tell you the hours. as long as you keep regular oil/filter changes and clean air filter they can last for awhile. as for the exhaust godevil sold them for $90 last time i bought.

It's a lawnmower engine. I've been running a 11 hp Honda on my lawnmower since 1988. It takes me almost an hour and a half to cut the yard so go figure. Got about 1800 hr on the mower at work and haven't had it in the shop for the engine yet.
