    I remember fighting with gas weed whackers endlessly as a teen trying to do chores… having to dick with the choke for a cold start, having to pump prime them (and it being possible to over prime and lock them out), then you had to carry them around and use them with the exhaust at steak searing temperature… and if you didn’t know how to tune an idle they’d just die in your hands if you didn’t goose the throttle occasionally

    This is a great one - don’t miss small gas engines even a little bit lol

      Ngl I always thought starting 2-stroke engines was pretty fun. But I certainly don’t miss the noise or the horrible pollution.
