How do you mean ?

50:1 Fuel and oil mix ratio which is 5 parts of fuel in a 5 litre container and 100mls of 2 stroke aka 2 cycle engine oil.

@@Patrick4959 thank you sir

I just bought 220be for 40 bucks. Didnt want to spend $500 for new one as i am living in a rental property. Do u know where i can get the operation manual fir this one . I looked every where couldnt find one. 🥵.

@@dhrubopilot good stuff mate and yes funny you mentioned that as i also am looking for a operations manual too.

Is your one still in working condition? Today i found out my spool is broken. Do you know where i can find replacement one?

yes indeed and even the Toro,s with the Suzuki engines are a classic for sure in the USA (United States of America)

yep they are a common problem but yeah luckily not hard to repair though.

Cheers mate and one of the best mowers made by Rover Mowers Australia etc.

Yep a good mower plus much better than those Briggs and Stratton one's with the plastic carburator aka carby.s they have on there now days.

G.day

Not sure really however they are not guzzlers like some motors like the Victa 500 twin cylinder etc.

Yes i do a very easy basic design for sure.

was it your internet reception ?

i think in the late 1980s

My wife bought mine the year before we got married in 1990

@@garyreid9842 when your wife knows what a 2 stroke engine is you got yourself a keeper.

@@Patrick4959 Toro first used this engine (what they call the GTS120) starting in 1982 for the 1983 model year (model series 47PZ2), and only for '83 did the GTS120 have a points/condenser ignition. 1984 (47PD3) and later models had the common solid state (CDI) ignition.

@@ClassicTVMan1981X yep for sure and not wrong for sure plus you can also get parts from the still now days.

Yep but not hard to get parts for it

I'm not a big fan of 2 stroke mowers but if I had one id prefer the suzuki to the victa junk mowers

@@dominoespizza1756 i love em 2 stroke mowers plus less parts to work around with and of course plenty of power too

​@@Patrick4959where do u source from?

@@DinkyDiTruBlu you can easily find them online.

not to worry i am working on a few in mind worth posting

I.d check ebay

in fact right here as i had a good look for one for you hope it helps you out my good mate www.ebay.com.au/itm/MUFFLER-EXHAUST-fits-Stihl-FS75-FS76-FS80-FC75-String-Trimmer-Weed-Eater-Whip/253181817982?hash=item3af2cff47e:g:qroAAOSwR7lazRWJ

i run my Rover at 50:1 according to my owners manual since brand new from the purchase date

These thing are designed such that they need to be started at WOT in order for the choke butterfly to be closed... They dont have a bulb primer and oftn are basically impossible to start with the choke open. So they more or less have to run flat out from startup.

​@@schmoburger6086 No they don't, leave fuel on long enough to fill carby, full choke & five pulls of the cord, first cough pull back from choke, starts every time. Best thing is there cheap, not many people know how to start two strokes easy.

@@jimmydcricket5893 No you're wrong on this mower, I've had mine since new in 1990, no maintenance except air filter and blades, it starts the same as it did 34 years ago. Full throttle which is the choke position, obviously fuel turned on 3 pulls and it starts, there's no first cough and then back off the choke, my chainsaw and blower etc. are like that, but not this mower so i'm afraid if you did that, it will flood and then you have to wait around for a few minutes or pull the plug and get rid of the excess fuel.

@@Blade43 Tilt em forward for about 5 sec before trying usually that does the trick with my old rover 2 stroke and it then fires up on the first pull then with the choke on.

nope as long as good regular maintenance and of course regular servicing you can do yourself and she kicks over nicely for example the carby fuel lines fuel filter gaskets and even spark plugs and even pistons and cylinder cleaning and i can do that one all by myself

Hosh11 where are you cutting...

@@ronaldhickman9953 ??? 1/4 acre western suburbs Sydney if that's what you mean.

No idea

121 cc

i think the suzuki is around 160cc i have 5 of them and plan on buying many more

Yes there is and its located on the top of the throttle trigger assembly which is located below the safety interlock and throttle trigger mechanism assembly

Oi boofhead be nice that's one of my earlier videos I'm no troll commenting spam!

Brian Mott yes i am the owner of this older Echo Grass trimmer and the head since this video was made is now no longer working but i find a Victa trimmer head works lovely on here

So you bought the string trimmer brand new? Do you have the original string head that came with it?

Brian Mott yes I do

Which string heads and brush blades do you own? I'd like to see a video of them.

Brian Mott i do have a brushcutter blade made for the unit which is a 8 toothed blade and the one im using as a temporary usage atm is a Australian Made Victa cast alloy head

TreeeFaerie no worries mate

Alan Marshall cheers mate very good make too

ron smith normally ebay or mower shops will have them hope that helps you out mate

Thank you Patrick

Bit late but I have got some.

Matt M nope mate

mike 13 50:1 as recommended by Stihl = 100mls of a good qaulity 2 stroke oil to 5 litres of Unleaded fuel

Erick Martinez its the carb

ClassicTVMan1981X yes by all views they were and made well back in those days

+Chrys Herbert no worries its a really good decent bit of quality trimmer unlike the Homelites that are Chinese made Crap POS(Pieces of Shit) today compared to the old days when they were made from the 1970s and so on

Erika Banuelos we each have our tastes in outdoor power equipment and im not going to argue the point over it as long as we have the right tool for the person and their uses and style were laughing

I love my yrad

Hi Jon, can you see my G+ account and look for the Pictures from posts, because I should know what genus is my female crab spider. Thanks Jon.

Immanuel, I'll have a look but identifying true spiders is not my strong point as it's not my area of expertise

cheers Jon mate this whipper snipper as we call them here in Australia are beastly boss trimmers for some of our council operators and groundskeepers etc but due to increased rates you don.t see council operator doing much in the areas as much these days however it was very good back in the old days too and you would not know the year of this trimmer ?

year of the trimmer should be in on the engine information sticker. It's written in my all my stihls.

Jon3800 yeah i did that and according to the engine code it might be a 1987 model by the looks of it

cheers and thank you for your serious support on this tool do you know the year of this trimmer by any chance ?

techstyle123 yeah for some people in regards to the area they live in it depends on the manufacturing and shipping handling etc and they are also Chinese made but i have no problem handling them from my view and as long as it works im happy with it
