Does anyone remember whether or not sales of electric lawn mowers reached their peak between 1979 and 1983? Why this year range? Because, 1979 marked the second oil crisis, whereas by 1983 the economy started improving again, and with lower gas prices people went back to buying gas mowers again...

I have a question regarding my Toro (Tecumseh) TNT100-10083E engine. So, I know according to an employee of Ed's Mower & Saw Shoppe that the recommended operating speeds of this engine for satisfactory performance are a minimum of 2800 rpm and a maximum of 3200 rpm. The real question is: 3000...
