[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1814072, member: 24428"] Well, got the J-handle mounted and the neck strap attached. Filled it with Castrol full synthetic 10W-30 w/ Titanium molecules [suppose to be Castrol's best oil, I use it in my vehicles] & regular unleaded gas [no ethanol]. It started on the second pull... purred like a kitten in idle without a hand on the throttle... throttled-up it had ample power for cutting through thick Johnson grass 2 ft high. Shut it off and waited a few minutes to restart...about the length of time it would take to re-spool line...it started with one pull. It did seem that the 4 cycle runs hotter than the previous 2 cycle... one reason I'm glad I went with a good synthetic oil. I sure won't miss mixing gas & oil. Right now, I'm very happy with it. I've got a 4 yr full parts & labor warranty if it needs any repairs. I understood I could still extend the warranty even further if I want too. My local Stihl dealer wanted $229+ tax for a 2 cycle unit w/ a smaller 27cc motor. Only had a 2 yr warranty. So right now I figure I came out OK. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
