I have a Honda mini tiller cx 31(not sure) 4 cycle. That bad boy screams. Plus you can totaly invert it and it still runs. Sounds just like a 2 cycle also.
Edit: Its a GX31 which they do not make anymore. Now its a GX35.

I have a Ryobi 4 cycle. Works great, starts easier than any 2 cycle can ever hope to. However, the only issue is that you have to work the throttle to control power / rpm. Holding it wide open makes it cut out / miss, so working the throttle is mandatory.

Rusty, you need to get a rebuild kit for the carb. It's pretty simple, it's a few gaskest, a diaphragm and a screen. I rebuilt my father-in-law's ryobi last summer. The thing runs awesome, it's got a HUGE head on it (aftermarket plastic blade one, thing has to weigh at least 5 pounds) and it runs ok with it. It doesn't like the cold weather, but that's because I stripped one of the screws that holds the carb together so it has a vacuum leak when cold.

Have you ever adjusted the valves in your 4 cycle trimmer that's cutting out when at full throttle? Mine was doing that until I got it broke in and then adjusted the valves. Now it roars. And the torque is amazing.
Sounds like a two stroke? Ya gotta be kidding. This one sounds like a 4 stroke. And don't ask me the name brand, right at this moment. It's late and I'm just about headed for bed. It's a good brand though and I expect it to last forever. It might even be a Craftsman, it's red and black. I'll look tomorrow, if I take the notion. I just had to offer my nickel's worth, once I read the part about theirs sounding like a two stroke. That sucks.
