Thanks for the link TrailBeast, gave me a couple of things to think about. The cc on this model is a bit higher, 163 vs. 149, think it's around 6.75 hp. Reviews I've read said they wish there was a speed control. Oddly to me, there is no choke lever or choke position on the throttle. It starts right up and you just let it run, almost sounds like it's cutting in and out but I believe that's the governor and that's the way it's supposed to "idle". I knocked down a few dandelions and ran it around my front yard a little bit, but won't know what it will do and not do until I head into the nettle and wild blackberry at my property.
