I can't help but thinking that it is time to replace my Boxxer. It has been a great, problem free machine. That is why I'm not sure what to do.

A few months ago, around 5000hrs, the Briggs started leaking oil out of the top of the engine due to worn piston rings. Against the advice on this board, I listened to my local distributor and replaced the rings instead of replacing the engine. It is leaking again.

My APO stopped working and the wiring looks melted.

I just got a leak in my main heat exchanger.

So, it is $3-5k to fix everything or time to start over with something new.

I just purchased a Brush Pro, maybe it is time to go low moisture.
