Yeah - reading between the lines, there was some mention of Briggs blaming it partly on their investment in a factory expansion or something.. but , what I get from it is - Briggs is hurting for money, spent too much on factory and development and stuff, then along come tariffs that hurt them because they moved so much production to China (serves them right!) so they didn't have money to put into keeping inventory production moving along.. Just got in backorder of 793147 hoses today, the 3-1/2" straight hoses are still on back order.. along with several other part numbers..
