Comment:
This has been nothing but trouble since I bought it. It is hard to starte and have to pull on starter rope until your arm is ready to fall off. Does not run at full throttle. The vacuum attachment didn't stay together and I had to hold it together with sheet metal screws. It leaks oil and is a mess to work with. Now it just won't start. Tried new spark plugs, cleaned oil filter, which wasn't really dirty<br />and yes I had the right ratio of gas/oil. It still won't start. Needless to say I believe it is a sorry piece of junk. Troy Built will NEVER even be considered for any other purchases.

Comment:
difficult to start until you get used to it (about 5 or 6 starts). Been using it once every 2 weeks for about 2 years now. Engine froze last week while using it. Had to replace because repair cost are too much.
