No one is going to produce a new saw with
same power output as the old 020
& S25 Poulans.

The EPA was threatening to put their foot
down on the 2-strokes. Blowers, string trimmers
etc. Now have they arrived on their stats, like
everything else they do is poor!
Here in CA, the city of LA has banned all gas
blowers. One report I heard on NPR, said a car
driving from LA to Frisco would produce the same emissions
as a back pack blower running for 1 hour!

That's it, the foot has spoken!

Dat's it! I dink toe!

Since a back pack has only ONE piston about
the diameter of a quarter, it won't add up!

You want low end HP? Don't look at the high rpm,
that won't give you the lug power you want.

When I raced moto-cross we build what we wanted!
I suggest you do the same, it's not hard!

PS: For all you granola's out there, saying
you're hurting the air. Let me say, how often
does a climbing saw, any saw? Operate VS a Jet engine
VS emissions. How about car racing?
A bunch of rednecks chasing each other around
a circle for 500 miles? (nascar always has V-8's)
