No doubt as to how clean they run and long they last, the oil stays clean for a long time, I just looked on the filter of mine, Sept., 2004 last time it was changed, mind you, it does not work full time and I'll be changing it soon, the oil is still clear on the dipstick, heard a lot of others saying when apart you can see the cross hatch on the cylinder walls from honing or etching, no or minimal wear. If it't got a fixed tank, your range will be limited to where you refill, always wondered if farmers who used them ever had a nurse tank on wheels or something, mine takes forklift size 30 lb tanks, could use 40lb ones, little heavy to heft around, I just take a spare to the field so if I run out, I don't have to walk to get one. I knew nothing about these, just flat out bought this one, it's been fun, rebuilt the vaporizor last year, got hosed by local supplier on the rebuild kit at $160, live and learn, same thing on ebay was like $20, needed it running, hate when that happens. Cold starts are much better now, best to keep em indoors, electrical connections tight/clean on fuel system and coolant up to level, sometimes they can be hard in weather below 20 degrees, if the fuel does not vaporize, other than that, little different but well worth consideration.
