Sure, for 40 to 1 mix a 16 oz beer can full of oil to 4 gallons of gasYou do know about putting a little oil in with the gas on a 2 stroke motor don't you?

Yup, Rotella wins every time!You do know about putting a little oil in with the gas on a 2 stroke motor don't you?
1000 acres?My grounds dept at the college has 30 ish Echo weedeaters, edgers, and blowers. They run them hard every week to maintain a 1,000 acre campus. Minimal issues. The only real thing I can say that a lot of people don't realize is it is unhealthy to throttle your gas. Either keep it wide open (which they are designed for) or let it idle. Throttling the trigger leads to air filters being clogged with fuel, exhausts getting fuel in them, and clutches burning up from the constant expansion and contraction creating heat from friction. This was all taught to me by my Echo field service rep.

That's the key!I bought the large Husqvarna 4 stroke from Lowes and it's going on 3 now. I was tired of buying the cheap ones every year and I'm good now.
I also only use non ethanol gas in it.
If it's working, don't change anything (just have one on hand when you need it).I have a 2-stroke Husqvarna that I put only TruFuel into that has been running strong for several years. I don't think I've even changed the spark plug.
It's not really good to blow out your air filter. It creates bigger holes that dust can pass through. All three auto/diesel schools I've been through as well as multiple manufacturer publications in my office advise against this. I haven't heard it in regards specifically with a weed eater engine, but I would imagine it's the same. About the only filter you should be cleaning are the oil soaked ones.I clean my air filter before and after with an air hose! And I'm about to buy another air filter.
I was JUST told 1,000 acres in yesterday's meeting. I just googled it, and came up with 500. So maybe 1,000 acres was combined campuses world wide? 500 is still a lot with a lot of sidewalks, roads, curbs, flower beds, etc...1000 acres?
I'm skeptical .
I wouldn't buy Ryobi! But that's just me. I've heard mostly bad news about them.
