I'm have to respectfully disagree here. Recently the craftsman line of two cycle engines have gone WAY down hill.
I bought a weed wacker two years ago. Second cut, no start. Messed with it for an hour, then took it to sears hardware, where they happily replaced it. Took it home, cut beautifully, into the shed. A week later, same thing. Took it back, and they suggested I had bought their "cheap" line of weedwackers, and should buy the more expensive one. Apparently you need to pay more if you want to use your weed wacker twice? I reluctantly agreed, and forked over the extra $30 for the next model up. Went home, cut, waited a week, same thing.
Now I know what anyone would be thinking. That idiot didn't put oil in the gas, or didn't mix the right ratio. I can assure you I did, with good gas, that goes in every other 4 and two cycle engine I have, which is run weekly at a minimum. Nothing else has a problem, from tractor to leaf blower to chainsaw.
I had that one replaced, they were growing tired of me, and I of them. The second week, it started, but as soon as I gave it fuel, it died. I fiddled with the carb a bit, not that there were many things to adjust. Managed to trim, but it sounded terrible. I took it to them and said I want a refund, I've wasted to much time. Went to home depot, bought the cheapest ryobi, went home and cut all summer with it without one problem, using the same gas at that.
My experience may be unique, but it completely destroyed my faith in their two cycle engines. If they're actually made by husqvarna, they're getting the short end, because I have a husqvarna chain saw and leaf blower that share the same oil/gas can as my weed wacker.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
