Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): 25cc Crafstman Trimmer Spewing Oil???, oil mixture, crafstman
QuestionJust mixed up a batch of 40:1 gas/oil for my trimmer. Began trimming, it was running very rough. It died and I noticed that there was oil spewing from the exhaust. I've taken the muffler off and it is full of oil. I double checked my mixture and it is right on. Any ideas what the cause of this is? Any help would be appreciated.
Answer Hello Dan:
The Oil Mixture is Too Rich with Oil or the Carburator is Set too Rich. I Use 32:1 Ratio on All my 2 Cycle Engines. There is Some Oil from the Muffler, but Not like I was Getting with the 40:1 Ratio. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.
Good Luck
