Yes, 4 stroke
I was torn between a 4 stroke and an electric when my 2 stroke started Farking with me. I went electric because it was crazy light and cool with an extra battery and all. Couldnt beat it for what I use it for. If I get a bigger place that needs more weedeating done I will get a 4 stroke.

the 4 stroke has an odd vibration, is a little bigger, and doesn't have quote the same power as a 2, the only thing you gain is it's convenient.

Not sure I'd have gone 4 stroke if I were to do it over.

I'll try to get some up tonight. So i was at radioshack and was looking at gps mounts, none of which would work. The guy asked me what would and i laughed and pointed at the mounts holding all the displays. He opened up a box and have me one!!! To fit it to my motorcycle i bought some tubing for the hole in the triple tree. Then in the center of that tubing i put a threaded rod and secured it. The threaded rod attached to a hole in the gps mount and is held down by a bolt. It fits PERFECT and looks very clean! couldn't be happier
