About P.K. Jones Expertise I can answer most questions about commercial and residential outdoor equipment. I can also help with questions about import atv's, Karts and scooters. I can't help you with generator electrical output however if it's an engine problem, I'm more than happy to help.
I'm in the South, so snowblowers and snowmobiles are outside of my area of knowledge. If it's a question about the engine on a snowblower I can help. But I'm just not familiar with the drive systems for snowblowers.
Experience I own Grand Junction Small Engines and Grandjunctionsmallengines.com, a full service shop and national parts sales site. My shop is an Authorized Repair Center for many brands and we work on equipment from most manufacturers. We are also a dealer and service center for several lines of outdoor sports products such as atv's, utv's and Karts. Personally, I have over 25 years experience working with small engines and outdoor power equipment.
Education/Credentials I've attended many small engine and power equipment factory schools and seminars. I average 100 plus hours annually in update schools and specialized training schools and am current on all brands my shop is authorized to do warranty and factory service on.
Question I received this weedeater as a gift and did not get the instruction booklet that comes with it. I bought a multi-ratio oil mixture but do not know the recommended ratio for this model. I tried to research the answer but am now more confused than ever. Can you please help me?
Answer Use the Stihl oil at a 50:1 ratio. This will cover you if there's a warranty issue. I'm not sure about Stihl, but many manufacturers dye their oil so it can be id'd if there's a warranty issue. So it's best to use the manufacturer's recommended oil at least during the warranty period.
