However I now have a 4-stroke strimmer and there's no way I would ever
have a 2-stroke one again.
What if you were a tree surgeon and needed a 'top handle' saw, do they
make a 4/ as light and powerful as any 2/ do you know?
OK, it's a *cheap* 4-stroke (Ryobi) but it
just starts when I want it to start, I can stop it and restart it as I
need, it's *so* much better than a 2-stroke.
Funny, that's just as our daughter uses all her 2/ tools (strimmers,
saws, blowers etc) all day long g. Same as my experience with my 2/
mopeds (Honda Express, NSU Quickly), scooters (Lambretta LD150 /
SX150) motorcycles (MZ's) and outboard motors (British Seagull and
Yamaha ... that often started first (or second) pull after being laid
up all season). Even my Messerschmitt KR200 (Sachs 200cc 2/) started
on the first turn of the key (forwards or backwards g). If they
didn't start quickly there was probably something wrong with them. ;-(
Maybe you just had a badun there Chris?
And to be fair, most (decent sized) strimmers are used with a harness
so you wouldn't be holding the dead weight with your arms. Not the
same with a chainsaw or hedge trimmer though.
Yes, I know not all 2-strokes are the same. However the difference
between a Ryobi 2-stroke and a Ryobi 4-stroke was considerable. The
4-stroke is almost exactly the same weight as the same powered
2-stroke.
It's also handy not having to mix fuel in the oil.
