Stihl - weedeater - engine runs erratic

[5030]

The gas issue is why I don't put 'regular' in my cans. Be it saws, weedeaters, lawn mowers, or generator, it will likely sit a while in the can or in the tank... so I buy the better stuff. And the 4wheelers run better on high test too.

I do too.... and I add marine Stabil as well. Stuff is junk

Over a number of years of using Stihl products ( blowers , weed, weedeaters and chain saws) I have used a product called Sea Foam in the "premium fuel only" twice a year, at the start of the season and once just before the end of the season, and eliminated any and all sluggish engine problems. You will see a difference within 5 minutes on any engine you use this on. I add about an ounce or less per engine each time and the engines run beautifully. The other thing I do is use only synthetic oil whether it be 2 cycle or 4 cycle engines and find that they run much better. In my case I use Amsoil synthetics exclusively. The 4 cycle oil I use is Amsoil 4 cycle 10W-30 SAE 30 and 2 cycle oil Amsoil Saber Professional mixed into the fuel. It's a 100 to 1 mix ratio in 2 cycle engines but I mix it about 75 to 1 ratio with great results. Hope this helps!
