Hey I'm no expert on 2 cycle engines so take this with a grain.
Also I am using the cryptokid theory of 2 cycle lubricants.
I have a really cheap Weed eater that a lady
from church left for me to "use". Translated:fix.
Its a Weed Eater GTI 15T and it is the most frustrating piece of junk I have ever attempted to use.
The carbon buildup in the CC and top of piston was beyond normal and would not run.
I pulled the plug poured in LC until full,rotated engine a pull or two, poured in more LC and reinstalled plug. Sat 2 days.
Mixed LC into rancid 2 stroke mercruiser oil I had from 1990 ? at 10% by recommended oil volume, Odis's level not our papers.
Mixed FP to gas at 1oz to 5 gallons and poured concoction into fuel/oil tank.
Cleaned plug and noted about 80 % clean metal showing now on piston top with lots of floaties, cleaned out as much as possible and this thing is running like a scalded rabbit and starts first pull if I choke correctly.
Will update if thing blows !
Still can't get the line to feed properly .Fiddle with line every 5 minutes cutting near the chain link cyclone fence at the compound here.
