Probably. IMHO all Honda is vastly overrated.
I've abused my B&S engines - the flathead 6.5 on our push mower has been run for hours through thick grass as the house - enough to have it pegged at WOT and you can hear it struggle. The 22HP V-2 on our rider has been stalled a couple times and generally ridden hard and put away wet. The 7.25 in our pressure washer has a new pump and it's a higher PSI. When washing the engine is WOT and definitely straining. Runs for hours like that.
Oil changes on all are yearly and they all start very easily. No reason to look at Honda, and if I needed an OHV engine, I'd buy a Chonda before anything Honda.
Even the Snow King Tecumseh in our blower is ancient and outside of carb issues runs flawlessly.
