Spark arrestor - NYET!
The very FIRST thing I do whenever I buy a new small-engine implement is rip out the @#$%^&*! spark arrestor. It's a little screen over the muffler exhaust port that will clog up with gunk after a couple hours of running any 2-cycle engine. The back pressure will then make the engine run like crap and be difficult or impossible to start cold.
The @#$%^&*! government requires spark arrestors on any small engine regardless of where it's sold or whether or not it's needed, so dealers will not remove them, but it's no trick to do it yourself in most cases.
