QuestionI can't find my instruction book for my weedeater. Can you tell me what the gas to oil ratio is for this particular weedeater? Appreciate your help.
AnswerHello James:
All two stroke engine will use a 50 to 1 ratio using today's two stroke oils. I Prefer to Use a 40 to 1 Ratio. I once used an Old Chainsaw probably from the 1960s, that had a Sticker on it that said to use a 25 to 1 Fuel/Oil Ratio, but that would have been using Two Stroke Oils of the Time Period the Chainsaw was Manufactured. In that Chainsaw I used 40 to 1 ratio with no problems. Today's two stroke oils compared to Yesteryears are more efficient at lubricating. It is like comparing today's Synthetic Motor Oil to Motor Oils of Decades ago. All the Equipment I use in Landscaping, anything from a Weed Eaters, Leaf Blowers, Chainsaws, Hedge Trimmers, use 40 to 1 ratio, and I use all types of makes and models, Stihl, Homelite, Husqvarna, Shindaiwa, and Echo, Sears. I mix up a 5 Gallon Fuel Can and use it in All of the Equipment for my Customers and for my Landscaping Equipment. Weed Eater Suggests 40:1 Ratio. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.
Good Luck

John
