One year since gasoline lawnmower sales banned in California
- Thread starter Snagglefoot

There are still some leftover gas lawn tools that Californian's can buy. As long as the machine was built in 2023 or older, it's green light. I recently bought a new Honda mower from Home Depot. They won't last long though.

@TheLastWord , that wasn't so hard was it? Decent answers from Californites to a question that interests BITOGers.

I'm retired and I am home a lot in the afternoon hours. These lawn mowers are so loud, they go for hours and hours in my neighborhood from one house to another.
A while back somebody posted something about noisy generators. It seems like most of these Mow blow and go folks just turn these gas mowers and blowers up to full throttle. I think they're sense of thinking is that you turn it on and set the maximum throttle that it will go..
They blow smoke everywhere and contribute to Suburban noise pollution not to mention they just blow the crap from one side of the street to the other side, nobody sweeps and picks up the crap anymore.
These are my observations in my neighborhood.. If they want to take away gas blowers and mowers and wackers fine with me! Or perhaps they should have mandated a rule to have better Mufflers that filter noise and pollutants..
California is plague by a lot of Petty new rules, but we have such a growing over population it only makes sense to try to keep somewhat of a handle on the masses that are running Wild.

Most 4cycle ope engines are designed to run at full throttle since they are air-cooled. I have not seen a push mower with a manual throttle since the late 80's.
Yep. My $300 dollar Stihl is 30 years old and will probably last just as long. The $300 Dewalt weed whacker that my neighbor gave me when he moved lasts 15 minutes on a battery and started to smoke last time my daughter used it. I highly doubt it's got 50 hours of use on it.
The Calif population as a whole, has fallen for the last 3 years.
A proper shop already does.
Have they banned diesel powered firetrucks yet?
You won't need to run them , if there is no water to fill them.
That’s documented population.
Actually water vapor is a powerful greenhouse gas. Maybe they plan to ban water as well.

With California Burning down, gas power mowers last of their issues.
While you are absolutely correct I believe that their political leaders will use this event to double down on climate change as a way to deflect attention from their own incompetence.
Yes, its one of those things that people worry about only when “ things are going well”. Can’t say much more without getting locked. Thanks for all the posts.
And so now the emissions are way better after they banned small engines used to clear poorly managed brush and forests so they could burn down half the county which may had added a little to the air quality they will say.
