Not is, DID. Tecumseh ceased operations in Dec, 08. The parts business has been sold to an outfit in WI, they plan to provide parts only, no complete engines. Were the engines that bad? No, not really. Everybody seems to have a horror story about a Tecumseh engine, but generally those were the cheapest engines, mounted on the cheapest equipment. There's no doubt that Tecumseh did build a cheaper engine than Briggs, and they did have the lion's share of that market. But Tecumseh could build good engines too.
