Gas powered yard equipment replacement -Poulan Pro
Issue: The Poulan Pro 25cc 2 stroke powerhead refuses to start due to a bad coil, I tore it down as far as possible with the tools I have but the attachment drive head refuses to come off so i can't get to the coil with anything but a big F**kin hammer. Time for a replacement.
Solution: Went to Lowes and Walmart looking for a replacement powerhead for my pole saw/hedge trimmer/weed wacker. Lowes has the Craftsman 25cc 2 stroke powerhead for $189(2yr warr) and it is marked as compatible with the Trimmer plus attachments. Walmart has the Black Max 25cc 2 stroke powerhead for $104(3yr warr) and is compatible with the Hart Powerfit Attachments(walmart). So I decided to take a gamble with the Black Max(walmart), it arrived today and the attachments I already have seem to fit correctly. I will get power to it in the next day or two and update on the functionality.
Side note: Lowes and Walmart are stocked with +80% battery operated yard tools and -20% I.C.E, different brands different batteries. Buy all your equipment from the same manufacturer or buy multiple batteries. Some don't even include the battery.
Closing: I remember when home personal ink printers became popular in the 90's? You buy a printer with the ink cartridges(usually low copy count) and when that runs out you buy the replacement cartilage(s) BUT...... the replacements were often 50% or more the cost of the initial printer purchase. So that got me thinkin how much do replacement tool batteries cost and how long do they last before disposal. Both Lowes and Walmart are a bit short coming in displaying and listing replacement battery prices none the less.
In my opinion I.C.E wins.
