It looks like ECU's have arrived on the market of small 2 cycle engines.
Also a kinda VANOS system adjusting the fuel injection at certain periods.
A good idea, but more prone to brake. More technology = more problems.

I agree. Too much technology for a simple tool. I like my equipment to be simple, easy to repair, and as cost efficient as possible for the job.

Yea, less down time so productivity doesn't get affected.

It looks neat. I agree one more thing to break but I like the auto adjust. And quick throttle features :) seems like a step forward to me.
