How To Winterize a 2 Stroke Weedeater

[ChiefRRoss]

appreciate the time to make this. May I recommend you put the camera on a tripod next time and just try to stay in front of it the entire time, for the moving around you missed a bit, not to mention it's just a little annoying. Otherwise, Great advice and thanks.

[1972FordF150]

I didn't have one at the time... I do not though. Thanks for watching !

[BaseballFreak1468]

will this also work for my 2 cycle echo backpack blower? Thanks.

[1972FordF150]

@BaseballFreak1468 It sure will !

[yamaha340ET]

this is prob gunna be a stupid question,(i dnt kno much bout small engines)but do u use 2 stroke oil to put in te spark plug hole?

[1972FordF150]

@yamaha340ET Yes. Just about 1 tea spoon though.

[yamaha340ET]

ok thanx man....nice weedeater btw

[1972FordF150]

@yamaha340ET You're welcome !! and thanks !!!. I recently remove the spark arester screen. It was clean. But it now starts a lot better,it revs smoother,and it has more power !!!!

[yamaha340ET]

o thts a good thin to know!!!i might try that on one of mine!!good idea

[1972FordF150]

@yamaha340ET Yup !!!

[1972FordF150]

SWEET do you have a big yard ?

[Smallgasengine1]

do you know what models i was talking about? you should visit echo's website and check yes i have a big yard

[1972FordF150]

yeah I look at those models all the time !!!

[stlouissux9119]

You should leave a little gas in the carb so it doesnt dry out and then drain it in the summer. Then put fresh gas in. Otherwise great vid. 5*

[1972FordF150]

Yeah probably should, but these emmisions carbs are so damn picky it's not funny. And thanks !!! oh PS: am I unblocked now ??

[stlouissux9119]

Thats why I like my Husky you can still adjust everything. That's what I do with all my equipment. And no not yet.

[1972FordF150]

Yeah I really like that husky !! I hate these emmissions carbs. And ok !!

[stlouissux9119]

Yeah I like it too although I haven't used it much of any since I bought it at the end of the season. That husky is fully adjustable landscaper model.

[1972FordF150]

Yeah I almost baught a husky 128LD model at lowes before i got this SRM 230, but I've had very good luck with Echo in the past before so I went with the Echo !!

[stlouissux9119]

Never buy something like this at a big box store they are CRAP.

[1972FordF150]

No. They are actually the same thing as the dealer sells just a single package (no tools included) is what I mean by that !!

[stlouissux9119]

Good luck serving your warranty and those are usually cheap ripoff homeowner models just like a John Deere they still make decent new ones only at dealerships though not at HD or Lowes!

[1972FordF150]

Well I can say screw the warranty cus I'll fix it my self, oh and my 87 Briggs runs now !!!! runs better then before with the old rings !!!

[stlouissux9119]

Warranty covers parts.

[The1981DMC]

Or put weed eater gas&oil stabliezer

[1972FordF150]

I do that too but this thing has a crappy emmisions carb and you don't want these things having probs !!

[MrMoterKid]

Cool vid 5***** I didnt know about the oil in the cylinder part, would 3 in 1 oil work? Or does it have to be two stroke oil? Probably a dumb question LOL

[1972FordF150]

2 stroke oil !!!

[MrMoterKid]

Thought so Ooops! XP

[MrGiantstpss]

mrmotor kid already beat u to this vid lol

[1972FordF150]

[humanparody12]

I thought I was the only one who called them "Weedeaters."

[1972FordF150]

I call them string trimmers, trimmers weedwackers and weedeaters !!

[xctome]

the Echo srm 225 is a 21.9 cc. and mine cuts thru anything!

[1972FordF150]

21.2 I had one loved it but it didnt have very much power

[xctome]

i looked on my tag and it says 21.9 cc.

[1972FordF150]

there is no sutch thing as an Echo 21.9 CC engine 21.2 (wich is the 210 and 225) have 21.2 CC engines mine has 22.8 CC

[MrGiantstpss]

no it doesnt... they are a bit underpowered i have used one a few times

[1972FordF150]

What ?? your responding to xctome's comment right ? 21.2 CC is Echo's smallest engine no sutch thing as a 21.9 CC

[MrGiantstpss]

[1972FordF150]

[Smallgasengine1]

[1972FordF150]

[Smallgasengine1]

[Smallgasengine1]
