It could very well be that the requirement for spark arresters is older than the older carts and lawn equipment - they might all be equipped with spark arresters.

A lot of things have to line up just right for a spark to be produced. Even more for that spark to start a fire. Even more for that fire to cause any significant damage. Around here the odds are very, very low. On the other hand, the fires out west have been devastating and any extra measure that can be taken to reduce the risk even more is worth it.
