Intake and exhaust gap is 0.003 to 0.006 inch. The procedure is in the operators manual which are available online.

Using 2-Cycle Gas Mix in 4-Cycle Engines

P

Pipsisiwah on Sep 02, 2008

I have a Stihl string trimmer. I mix Stihl 2-cycle oil with 89-octane gas in a 50:1 ratio for use in the trimmer. I mix one quart at a time. I usually have a pint left over at the end of each month, and the dealer said not to use the mix when it gets that old. Rather than throw it out (where????) would there be any harm in pouring that pint into my car or truck on top of a full tank of gas? Both have FE engines and a full tank is around 15 gallons. That makes the 50:1 mixture 750:1, so I don't see any harm in it, but...

It has the 25cc motor and it idles a little rough and when you give it gas it stammers and runs, but it doesn't have a lot of power and at wide open it acts like it is being choked. I pulled the carb off and blew air and brake cleaner through everything but didn't help. I cleaned the plug also. Any suggestions? Thanks!
