I'm well under. I still don't get it. The torque when you try to turn it is enough. Defective design that should go away.

If you're a run it for 10 minutes a week guy, buying that premixed non ethanol gas they sell at hardware stores isn't a bad thing. That's some good stuff.

I got a cheap arse refurb Ryobi powerhead from that Direct Tools at the outlets. I've run this thing on the premixed stuff for 3 years now and it still starts right up. I use it with a edger, blower, and pruning saw.

I have a 1991 model Shindaiwa T27 that runs great but I can't use the premixed stuff because it takes 25:1 ratio.

Either way I took my older John Deere weedeater to a small engine repair guy to have fixed a few years ago. He told me to throw it in the trash and just buy the cheap arse Ryoboi's. Use the premixed stuff, and when it goes bad just buy a new one. Said with the new non adjustable carbs that they are just throw aways for homeowners.

....not quite.

I have a sthil kombi system.

It combats the not running it enough problem because one motor runs my weedeater, edger, and pole saw.



I like it.

That's my next addition to the family.

I like the pole saw because I use it in the fall and winter trimming around the house, cutting shooting lanes at the deer lease, and cutting brush a couple of times a duck season to spruce up our blinds.

I wouldn't say I run the engine weekly throughout the whole year, but it's damn close.

It used to be weekly. Now it's once a month at best. Last time I ran them they had been sitting for about 3 months. No issues.

Engines are built for it now.

Husqvarna from Lowes, Straight shaft for around $200

Went with the Echo Pas system myself... I like it. Has enough power for my yard.
Have the pole saw, the edger and weed water head.

i have a curved shaft and the ladies love it
