I bought a troy built snow blower and weed eater from Lowe's and have come to the realization that those purchases were real mistakes. The snow blower won't run without keeping the choke at 3/4 and the weed eater may or may not start which is mostly not. I have worked around equipment most of my adult life, and I'm 66 years old and to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. My wife reminded that I got what I paid for. I am going to replace these pieces of junk with Stihl. paid for User's recommendation: Do yourself a favor steer clear of this brand nothing but pure junk.
