reply to your fuel ratio-, im 58 yrs old and i have been running all my two cycle engines at 50:1 for many years and i have not had one problem with any of them. i also repair small engines and most problems people have is by running to much oil like you do so if you like your stuff running crappy and fouling plugs and slugging up your engines by all means run them with alot of oil thats what the manufactor wants you to do so they can sell you more equipment. thanks for your time.

@1TINBEATER

For someone whose giving me advice, you sound a bit rude about it. I've worked with 2-stroke lawnboys and many trimmers plus new ones for more than 15 years, and all of it used on a daily basis for my lawncare service. Unlike most of the people you had to repair their engines for, I fully maintain my machines, I've cleaned plugs, to ensure they don't run like crap. I've not encountered one problem with engine sludge. Its better to run a bit more oil to ensure it's lubricated

i run 50:1 ratio in all my two strokes.

@1TINBEATER

Most trimmers now are 50:1 to meet emissions standard. However it's a bit too lean if you run a 2-stroke that require 32:1 or 40:1.

Why do you have so many models? Do you have a crew? Thanks for the review though...

@kolbpilot

me neither. These can be confusing models

I never understood the oil ratios with Homelite. My old '94 26cc Homelite trimmer was supposed to run on 32 to 1. Instead it received 50 to 1. Lasted 11 seasons doing a single home. Like a dummy I threw it in the trash when I got frustrated tying to get the recoil spring back together after the rope broke. It was running fine.

If you watch my vid Coldstart Homelite my choke lever is broken too. i start it the same way
