Now... if anyone is wondering why this matters to anyone outside of California, please consider the cost and reliability of lawn mowers you buy from your local hardware store.
More specifically, I’ve noticed over recent years that you simply cannot find a lawn mower where you can control the choke of the engine. It’s all internal and automatic. If your mower wont start, you have to take it in... or replace it.
Why??? because California sets the standard pretty much on how engines like this are built.... and how “Efficient” they are, or how “Green” they are.
Manufacturers have bent over Back Asswards at EVERYONE ELSES expense so that their products would not be shut out of the CA market.
The end result is we cannot buy a decent mower anymore... NOWHERE!... So now that California has pretty much told those same manufacturers to take a hike, I have this to say to the manufacturers...
“Happy NOW??????” Why don’t you start building some DECENT lawn mower machines again???... let CA figure it out for themselves and STOP SELLING EVERYONE ELSE CRAP MOWERS!!!
right on target
