A young engineer that I know from another site works for Genrac. About 2 years ago they received a letter from California stating that they would have to make changes to all of their generators and engines if they wanted to continue to do business in California. I received an e-mail from him two days ago telling me what a pain it was to have to make all of the engines different as now some other states are starting to want emission controls, but there seems to be no standard. I believe it was last year here that Sears had a big sale to get rid of all the lawn and garden tractors and equipment they had in stock as it was no longer legal in this state. They could sell what they had in stock and all new stuff had to meet new emission requirements. So the tightening of rules on small engines is not new to us here in California.
