I am still annoyed at the guy who said his centura (tecumseh) engined edger was 'hard to start'). I pulled the cord half leant over the handle, it kicked back and I did my back.

I haven't had a problem with my sprinter with 450 flat head briggs. But the blade on mine is near new as it never did much work.

Would one of the sanli blades for that small deck type model fit the existing boss - they have a big back of the blade - more weight, better catcher flow.
