Is there any way to tell a single ring from a double ring engine without tearing the engine apart or muffler off? Like perhaps something in a serial # or model # or something? The reason is... I hit a few yard sales and auctions in the summer time, and it would be nice to know if a guy knew what he was looking at and whether a string trimmer has a one ring or two? Perhaps a change over date?
