to much oil or not
« on: September 14, 2009, 12:17 »
Hi all i have been getting a new McCulloch X Series 250CXL Petrol Powered Grass Trimmer
i put the 2 stroke oil 125ml as it told me on the bottle at 40-1 in 5 Liters of petrol i had a few goes with it and it seem's to get a lot of black oil coming out of the exhaust outlet is this norm or do i have to adjust the carb or just  leave it alone or will it be that it is new

125ml in 5 ltrs of petrol would be 50:1, and not 40:1, which requires a bit (a teeny-weenie bit more oil)
However, the difference is so minute, I wouldn't worry about it.
Black oil from the exhaust is normal in a two stoke, Igf you are finding it's running well enough, it's best not to start twiddling around with mixture screws, which, if you don't get it right, will result in a seized engine from making the mixture to lean.

leave it well alone if it's going allright! :D

As an aside, I allways run my two stroke equipment with too much oil. Far better that, than not enough, and I like to dissapear in a blue haze...... it keeps the insects away.. :D :D
