He compared leaf blower emissions to second-hand smoke.

This apparatchik is a technical moron...

The hot new 2 stroke, yes I said 2 Stroke is the Huskavarna and Stihl products with their clever and patented "X Torq" Technology. They have a grooved piston and dual throat carb that sends an airstream into the combusion chamber as the exhaust is exiting and before fuel sneaks out, very very clever....

It makes it almost as good as a Direct Injected 2 stroke, and almost as clean as 4 strokes with much better fuel economy...

Check out the videos of it on you tube, but an image for now...

On a 2 stroke what lubricates the main bearing? I’ve always wondered how it gets cooled/lubed. Seems like friction on the main bearing would be a problem.
