Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Home Lite trimmer, time tom, oil gas


Question
Hi its me again, I had just recently got this trimmer from a friend. So I put my oil, gas mix at 50.1 gas and 2.6 in oil. So if the manual said mix at 32.1 which do I need more of gas or oil? and how much more? This is all new to me so thanks lot for the help.

Answer
Tonia, you will need more oil. If the ratio is based on a 50.1 mix, it means 50 parts gas to 1 part oil. If 30.1 you need 30 parts gas to 1 part oil, meaning more oil, than the 50.1 mix. You'll need to add just a little less than you did the first time..........Tom :)
