Ok, look, we can argue these points untill we're blue in the face. But the fact remains, either these engines have an epa compliant label on them or they don't.
And therein lies the problem. Trust me people, these engines will eventually be banned. There are a lot of ebay vendors under investigation right now. And soon the area will be stretched out to include all. As the environment takes a dump, these little engines will be looked at more and more. Soon, they will be banned if there is not a LEGITIMATE EPA lable on them when sold.
And I might add, that rumor has it there is a vendor that claims his engines come in with EPA Compliant labels on them, but he removes them before shipping them out to customers. Now I ask you, why in the heck would they do that??? HUH?
That move makes absolutely no sense.
