When well tuned, and started according to the book, all small engines will start on the first pull - even this machine with a very heavy start up load due to the heavy weight of the chipper shredder device attached to the engine crankshaft. Note the wind pressure in intake and throw out vents yet the relatively low speed of the engine. To acheive the same from a smaller engine, one would need higher speed (legal limit is 3600 r.p.m.) but it will surely slow down the engine once you are loading it with leaves or branches. Therefore, higher the engine power with a slightly higher initial purchase price, quicker and better the job is done. The ability of an engine to quickly come to steady operation depends upon it quickly warming up and the remaining engine components being in good condition too. This video was made in the last week of October 2009 on a chilly day in Mississauga near Toronto, Canada.
