And you think I read the manual? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Been using 40:1 since my grass trimming days with the county. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I told you about the poopoo ponds motox? Yeah great job, painted picked up trash, mowed, edged and water parks with recycled sewer water. Every time the ponds would get low, we'd joke about running home and flushing the toilet a few times.

I knew that. As you can see I posted it right earlier.

moto. Most weed wackers or 40/1. Next time your at lowes or walmart look at the gas cap on some and it will say 40/1....

Not real sure why mine is 32/1. But thats what it says in the manual.

I've got a couple of old air cooled utility engines that take 24/1 and one old "Ever-rude" boat motor that run 16/1 and requires 30W non detergent engine oil at that. When you use that thing you are really a "Rider in the purple haze". Don't run it very often as it kind of leaves a slick on the water.

I wonder how they would do with a synthetic oil at 40-1? I cant imagine it would hurt them, but I understand you running what was reccomended. Very cool to still have old school stuff like that today. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Dear Mr. mywifesquad, Its not a "weedwacker" its a string trimmer! Your wife will think ur talking dirty or using curse words by calling it a "weedwacker" and she may stop you from riding her quad.
