sh!t

ok I go cut back on it then. No wonder my spark plug had so much carbon build up on it so quick

My suggestion is to carry it in for a cleaning and servicing at an authorized center, and then continue with the correct mix. The mechanic will disassemble the unit and clean everything. You can't do that yourself unless you have the training.

I guess that Trinituning doesn't include cleaning a tiny carburetor.

Teardown, cleaning and rebuild of any single barrel carburetor is a fairly straightforward procedure.

Are you making fun of people who lack the knowledge and tools to do certain things that require training and expertise and would rather let an qualified technician do it? If the man can't read the manual for the oil ratio he go disassemble and clean a carburetor ent?

And I could probably do that myself... but i won't play like i know everything, and actually let the mechanic do it.

You wrote, "You can't do that yourself unless you have the training." I disagree.

My previous post stands for itself.

was talking to ED in that post.
nvm.

^ I does do most things myself, I will take it apart and clean it if needed.

My brother for example learned to fix everything in his car via youtube, he could change transmission and thing now, replace injectors, ball joint, bushings etc etc

My days of people ripping me off is done especially when we have youtube and countless other means of help, reddit etc

Then I owe you an apology.

Having a tech do the work is your choice and I couldn't agree more.

drop ett and let someone do a small service, however in my opinion just clean the plug and start going with the correct mixture.

theres a spark arrestor in the exhaust, its like a little mesh, clean that too.

I cleaned the spark plug and it works much better now like new infact.

I will check that mesh in the exhaust

60ml to 4L premium...I use a Stihl FS85

60ml to 4L premium...I use a Stihl FS85

For Stihl 2-stroke oil at 50:1, that should be 80ml to 4L of fuel.

Mix at 50:1 (20mls oil per 1L fuel) when you’re using STIHL 2-Stroke oil. If you’re mixing a larger quantity, check out our useful mixing chart.

yes you are correct, I made a mistake, I buy a 120ml bottle and use 80ml for my 4l gas canister.

I guessed as much but I didn't want to assume.

Where is a good place to get Stihl wackers right now?

other than FT Farfan??

[rollingstock]

Ramlagans cheaper

[carluva]

Ramlagan's definitely.

Allied.

Central Chemicals in Chaguanas.

Bhagwansingh's also has a small selection.

[francis1979]

Ramlagans had the best price when I was purchased a STIHL brush cutter about 2 months ago.

However after purchasing; a friend told me that FENS Agri-Center, located @ Union Road Marabella had better pricing. I did not bother to investigate since I already purchased my machine.

FYI. Ramlagans has a WhatsApp number which you can use to obtain pricing. This saves the hassle from visiting or calling.

FYI- FT Farfan sell more expensive than their authorized re-sellers.

FYI: Ramlagans and I am sure other places sells mixing bottles to get the mixing ratio right without guessing.

Who you gonna buy it from?

[supercharged turbo]

Tbh I leaning towards Ramlagan's only because they closer to me but over the last 3 months,I carried a chainsaw and a FS 450 to service by Central Chemicals 3 times thinking is some major problem and the guy who servicing handle me rel quick and didn't even charge me all tho I didn't buy the equipment by them.I thinking to give them the sale just because of how they handled me nice.

[rollingstock]

I would have purchased from them too if they provide a good service.

[carluva]

I agree. I have always had good experiences and service with Central Chemicals.

When you buy at Ramlagan's, you get good price but normally, some bleh service. Although, with the pandemic, they have gotten more orderly and better.

Give Glen (Central Chemicals) the sale. Always good to support the smaller businesses especially when they give good service and good prices.

[supercharged turbo]

100% agree on your Ramlagan's statement.I"ll check Central Chemicals and let you know how it goes

Fs 450 is a heavy machine
Try to get a full harness for it

Using it with the free single shoulder strap.real annoying

I buy this 7 years ago on Amazon when I got my fs450 and it still holding up good
Very adjustable and makes the machine weightless
