Oh for F#$k sake, grab a broom or or rake you lazy self-centered azzhat!
Bought a number of things from VM Innovations and have been satisfied with them. Most were like new. In one case a guard was cracked and they credited me more than the cost of the part with shipping. Even though Polan is made by Husqavarna I've never been impressed by them. Check VMI for other product options as they usually have many.
This is the same as a few Craftsman models, one of which I have. It gets the job done but don't mulch with it or twigs, acorns, etc will wear on the impeller. Thanks to the newer carb standards it runs lean to cut emissions so it is pickier about fuel and takes a couple more pulls to start. It's worth $65 and does the job but if you plan on a lot of use I'd go with a top shelf brand using a commercial engine like Stihl or Redmax, etc.
The smog nazis require the OEM to set the carb very lean but this does not mean U can't make it richer (see Macgiver) after U get it. A lean-running 2-cycle will burn up 'cuz it won't get 'nuf lube from the fuel mix.
Gas Blower. Sounds like the Dyson Air Multiplier has some competition as a fart relocator.
^^ Along with lean running the manufacturers claim you're supposed to use a 50:1 gas:oil ratio in anything modern, but that doesn't mean you can't use the old 40:1 ratio instead to give it more lubrication.
What are you referring to by "see Macgiver"? IIRC it doesn't have an idle or mix screw on the carb, do you have to take it apart and enlarge the jet or ??
