@SolunaGarage Great! Sometimes it kills the engine when engaging the PTO, and a backfire out the exhaust when turning off. I rev it up then key off at idle quickly!
I noticed the single cylinder Commands like to really be warmed up before engaging the PTO. My 2166 is exactly the same way. As for the backfire, a good 60 seconds of cool down at idle and then the throttle up before shutting off has always worked for me. It does need to be a full 60 seconds or more though. The muffler design on the 2000 Series is extremely susceptible to the backfire due to raw fuel self-igniting in the chamber.
Nice! Great machine!😊
Thanks Otis! How's the 2166 doing?
