    Gas motor and Pacemaker
    I am interested in buying FeatherLite Gas Blower, Weedeater. Model FL1500LE.
    However I have a Cardiac Pacemaker and some small motors both Gas and
    Electric effect them. Will this one be safe?

    OK, what I might try is wearing ESD clothing. Something like these: ESD Clothes

    What you are probably seeing is the effect of the length of the spark plug wire vs the frequencies the pacemaker sees. Electromagnetic interference happens when there is a discharge through that wire.

    See:

    And

    What I would do, since they specify that they can customize an order, is to call them and see if they would be willing to modify a lawnmower coil or weedeater coil and add the special cables.
    You could possibly order a replacement part, have it modified and then installed by your lawn mower shop.
