Briggs pricing and backorders

[hanz63]

82 cams in stock at this minute @ PD. Beefed up parts stock a bit more this next year due to the plague on the code 1 stuff. Plus should have all my oil here too for the year. I put feelers out to the battery place about when I should get my main order. Usually that's February for me. It seems when parts pricing goes up that batteries find a way to go even higher.

I see that the cams are back on the unobtainium list. What else are you seeing? Looks like $$ are going up.

Oh I manage to get one camshaft and found the two I missed Binned a year and half ago. One of those Chinese camshafts I installed has already failed. One carburetor kit I had on back order for two months went NLA. And I currently have a couple oil screens and a Snapper idler arm on back order since January 15/2022 so that not been very long yet.

My customer decided to be a pain. Just changing his mind on one project. First wanted the mower repaired, then not two days later after I already had to parts on way. Then when I return the unrepaired mower he thought I had repaired it. I said no it wasn't repaired as you said not to. He got pissed and said he just get someone else to repair it. I finish storing my ramps and left. I putting the parts that I had ordered on eBay and sell them.

They are still dragging feet I see.

Good thing grass isn't growing right now.
