Hard work doesn’t cause heart attack, blocked arteries does.
tell that to Jim Fix...the godfather of jogging..died from a heart attack at 52 while on a jog near his home in Vermont.
And my dad, died shoveling the driveway trying to get out to go to church. Worked hard all his life in the outdoors.
The heart is a lot more complicated than you seem to understand. Check out all the hockey players in their 20s, high end players too, who have died or almost died during game play, I am sure those NHL guys had badly clogged arteries.Quote:

I come from a family of diabetics (I'm pre diabetic and just went on some pill), my whole family on both sides also have heart conditions.
So for me it's not if but just when. I now go have blood work done every 4 months probably for at least another year or 2.

I thought Tecumseh went out of business more than 10 years ago. Their small gas engines were almost identical to Briggs and Stratton and all I ever see anymore are the B&S engines.
I did a little research on this for you and the Tecumseh engines appear now to be made by the Lauson Engine Products still in the USA.Quote:

Must be sold under a different name now. Too bad Tecumseh went under as they had a decent small engine. Their Tillotson carbs were bullet proof and fool proof.
