That's a good thought. Mine is a Toro, two cycle gas mixer.
When I got it, there was some black crud floating around in
the gas tank, that kept clogging the metering jet. I put on
a fuel filter, and that took care of that. It doesn't want
to start worth a hoot for the first try of the year. Ether,
and electric starter are my friends. One time I caught a
piece of wire in the end of the impellor, and broke the
belt. Able to find belts online cheaper than the local Toro
place.

I would buy a used one in the spring if I were you.
Probably get one for $100 or $200 at that time. If you are
gonna use it
3 time a year and new one is a bad investment. It will be
used next year
anyway.

2 Stroke is just about history - and I'd never buy one. Too finiky,
and they STINK.

Two strokes are light weight, and that's the advantage. As
to stink, well, when starting up, mine will smoke if I don't
open the choke soon enough. Other than that, not noticable.
After pushing it around for awhile, I stink worse than the
machine.

Hope you never need a gas chainsaw, gas boat motor, gas
hedge trimmer, or gas weed whacker. Those are only available
in two stroke.

I have 2 chain saws - they stink Most boat motors are now 4 stroke. 4
stroke weed wackers are now available (as are hedge trimmers I
believe, but I use electric)

My weed whacker is 4 stroke, starts first pull except first time in spring
when it takes 2 pulls to get it going. Takes straight gas, and to change oil
I need only 4 ounces. It is a Honda.
