Just wanted to pass on the less than satisfying tale of my Ryobi BC30 trimmer. It seemed like $150 well spent: it started well, cut through most anything with either the string head or brushcutter bl

On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 12:17 AM, Mark Miller Echo and Stihl would tell you the same thing about the warranty. And for consumer products, the warranty period is a good guide to how long the factory th

Go for the Stihl. Echo isn't what it used to be. And if you do buy an Echo, read the fine print somewhere in the middle of the manual that tells you to use 89 octane gas, never use any gas more than

Yeah, I was gonna say the same. Honestly, 24 months is a pretty good warranty these days, esp for power equipment. I have an old Ryobi trimmer, probably 10 years old that's been great. But I thought

What's with the gas thing? Is it higher or lower octane that is harmful? I have a friend that used to own a power equipment repair biz that swears you should only run the highest octane in them. On a

Using fuel with too low an octane can lead to serious engine damage. Octane too high just wastes money. There was a time when "premium" also meant better additive packages, but I don't believe that

In Minnesota, a few selected gas stations sell Premium which does not have alcohol in it. This fuel is supposed to be used in small engines and classic cars. Normal cars are expected to run on 10% al

I think his question was in regard to Echo's new requirement to use 89 octane fuel (if you ask them they will say 89 minimum - higher is OK), but their manuals now just say 89 octane. It seems odd fo

Somewhere I've got a TR3 piston that looks nearly perfect, until you turn it to see the broken ring lands. Almost certainly from detonation (aka pre-ignition) caused by excessive oil burning (which

I wouldn't blame them so much if it were a more typical requirement and included as a matter of course in the standard and visible cautions. However, unless it's visibly marked, or dealers warn of t

I'm not really disagreeing with you Karl, just observing that the octane requirements for my car are equally buried in the owner's manual. My string trimmer is an old Home-heavy, and it doesn't even
