I'm curious to know about these models. Do they use the 4-mix engines or are they bigger versions of the engines used on the BG86?

@Jon3800 Spoke to the product manager...The BR 350 and BR 430 are two stroke engines that use a piston controlled stratified scavenging emission principle. They are both 63.3 cc engines that use the same emission control scheme as a BG 86.

@mikeypizano the 500 is a low noise with a blower muffler that is why the 500 is more expensive than the 550 and no the 550 is not getting phased out.

How does the BR430 compare to the BR550 for 20 bucks more? Why is the 500 more expensive then 550? If the 550 being phased out?
