Crikey that was quick Norm! I should have mentioned in my opening post that I'm actually running the thing on the same roughly-45:1 mix that I put through the Suzukis, because the possible over-oiliness of the chuzuki's specified 30:1 mix was one of my own first gut-reactions too. I also can't be bothered with trying to stay on top of what would have to be a dedicated separate fuel mix for it either, given that my trimmers are both 50:1 Stihl's, and also how hot it gets up here in Brisbane during the summer, which doesn't do the fuel much good after a while. So the long and the short of it is that it is already running on a leaner mix (approx. 45:1) than what the manufacturer would otherwise wish (which is 30:1) Good thought tho'.

Best Wishes,
Mick.
