"Even now they're doing the same thing with two cycle lawn machines, like weed eaters."

I don't find my four-cycle weed eater to be any larger than the two-cycle ones. The Japanese seem able to build smaller/lighter four-cycle engines.

Weigh it to make sure; you’ll find it is heavier than its two cycle predecessor. Also, you have to change its oil, something you don’t have to do with a two cycle weed eater.
