[QUOTE="MJB, post: 91721, member: 1222"] The catch box measures 450mm x 200mm. Not sure how this compares to the Keene 140 as I did not have one close by to measure up. I think mine may be a little smaller but if any one has a 140 I would be eager to know what the size actually is. So the cheapies run flat out or idle is that correct? And the Stihl has an adjustable throttle? I reckon the ability to adjust throttle speeds is a necessity so you can minutely adjust the air flow...lest you blow the fine gold out of the box :mad: In all honesty I would much prefer a 4 stroke unit too as it may just be a little more bearable than the 2 stroke version......but then again, Diggerdude had a 4 stroke and it was still annoying :P Cheers, [/QUOTE]
