Here when weed wackers slow down, the first thing removed is the Spark
Arrestor. That could have started the fire.

Removing a spark arrestor is illegal in their state?! *Some people
move there and never even have a spark arrestor.

Harassing a bear can be a federal offense. That charge can get you two
years in the pokey for a first offense. Stealing fish from a pond,
still gets a two year sentence.

My Sthil had one until I removed it because it would not rev high, I
think CA is stringent on that issue and for good reason.
