 Echo weedeater / help
Got myself a second hand 2 stroke Echo weedeater w/ no paperwork was wondering if anyone might know what the oil/fuel ratio is on this thing? Been a while since I had to mix oil to gas. think I might be mixing it a little rich.

 Re: Echo weedeater / help
I have an echo. Its 50:1. As far as bogging, I had to ebuild the carb on mine and it ran great after that.

I hear all you need is some chickens and they will keep everything trimmed, plus knock down the bug population and fix breakfast for you in the morning.

 Re: Echo weedeater / help
50:1 ....If it gums up the exhaust,you can take the screen out form behind the cover and it will run like a scalded dog.
