Kawasaki KRH300A The Kawasaki KRH300A handheld blower is lightweight and easy to maneuver, but it has an impressive air flow volume for more efficient clean-up. The owner also gains up to 25 percent better fuel economy with the Kawasaki TJ27E 26.3 cc engine, which features an advanced 2-barrel carburetor design that buffers in fresh air between the intake and exhaust cycle. The exclusive Kawasaki Air/Fuel (A/F) technology design incorporates an exhaust system catalyst converter that helps improve fuel efficiency and cut exhaust emissions. The new engine design also incorporates an "enrichment" starting system that replaces the standard choke and essentially elimi- nates chances of flooding the engine at start-up. The KRH300A blower puts out 450 cfm of air. Little Wonder Optimax blower line Little Wonder announced a new version of the Little Wonder Optimax blower.
