Default RE: Poulan 25 from FL trimmer

I run the engine yesterday again - just for fun Also I wanted to test the technique of starting the engine.

With my little starter (standard starter that I used for all my small glow engines) I turn the engine. It has a kind of hesitation going through compression (weak starter) but then it fires up immediately. Starts at idle every time.

Than I tried how low I can get with idle. To my surprise I was able to get to the point that it sounded like an idling Harley I didn't measure the rpm but it was almost nothing. And even after idling like that for a half minute it didn't hesitate to jump full throttle. I'm really pleased with power and transition.

New mufflers from Wackerengines are on the way (I hope I will have them tomorrow) so I will take some pictures and maybe I will do some video too Because Wackerengine's muffler has exhaust tubes the engine should sound better too.
