So basically I should just throw this thing away and buy a Stihl.
That's exactly what I did.
I thought... 4 stroke. Cool. No mixing. Of course, it's underpowered, weak and generally an all around not good blower.
Unpacked my Stihl and when I took the box to the curb on garbage day, I put the Makita beside it. Somebody got it before the garbage folks came. Lucky them.

No, not terribly hard to check out. Use a business card to check/set the clearance between coil and flywheel magnets. Maybe some fine sandpaper if there is any rust to clean off. Make sure the spark plug wire doesn't have a worn spot and it making good contact with plug inside the boot. Remove the plug, keep it attached to the coil, ground the threaded part of the plug and pull the starter to see if you can see it spark.
