And rechargeable ones doubly so. I used an electric one once give more
than 6 blades of grass to cut in one stroke and it could hardly manage it.

Get you one serviced or buy a better quality one, Stihl, Honda or
Husqvarna.

I wonder who makes these little two stroke engines? I doubt it will be
McCulloch they are part of the Electrolux empire IIRC.

A service is probably a good idea and possibly some instruction in looking
after it (correct oil/fuel mix) and starting. Two strokes can be
tempremental to start and they are all a little different. There have been
starting procedures written up in here in the past.

Some instruction into looking after it is very good advice,
I did just that a couple of days ago, & it seems to work well now.

Thanks for your reply,
