The two hundred dollar Poulan in the background worked for the season, but it had a tendency to stall under very little load with the Kohler 149cc engine, had an awkward height adjustment mechanism, plus, after a very mild winter it was reluctant to start, and even after stripping down the carb and making sure the fuel process is good, it has not returned to it's previous lackluster levels yet.
The new kid on the block is a return to a 162cc Honda powered unit, a Troy-Bilt lawn mower that feels almost as powerful as the vintage unit we retired when we moved from Gibsons. Hopefully we will get sixteen years out of new one.
