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.

Literally my thought process exactly. I could even deal with the underpowered part just because it's general residential stuff, and I don't have to mix gas. I'll be doing the same here over the next couple days. I've got a Stihl dealer right by my house. You got the BG50 or the BG56?
