  • Gas powered leaf blowers are small two stroke engines, you’re smelling oil burning (oil is mixed with gasoline to lubricate, it burns by design), and those engines tend to be jetted to run rich so they don’t burn up too quickly.

    Unburned gasoline, unburned oil, burned oil are the extra smells that you don’t get from a lawnmower, which would be four stroke like a car.

    Two strokes are also noisier than four. They fire twice as often as four strokes, and for the purposes of a leaf blower, they also rev higher.







  • If you are walking at the edge of the roadway (not on a sidewalk separate from the road) you should be walking on the left, against traffic, so you can see oncoming traffic on your side as you go.

    If you are approaching another pedestrian who is walking towards you, each pedestrian should walk to the right of the other while passing.

    Reverse all sides for countries that drive on the left.
