His response you need to get one way better than mixing and screwing with 2 stroke . He does have a point i hate the smell of 2 stroke if i did have a battery powered one i would probably use it more often.

Actually I like the smell of 2 stroke, from my past love of dirt bikes which started in the 70's and ended a half dozen years ago.

But it is nice to just be able to "plug and play" with electric. Replacement batteries are extremely expensive and over time I fear will not be available as device manufacturers make upgrades requiring different batteries.
