    FS 130 info

    If you don't do edging or anything that require to frequently turn sideway to trim, get the bike handle. It is so comfortable. Just make sure you don't regret later because it can only do one thing really well........level trimming. You can go for hours until you need to pee!!!

    The Beg for Manuals Thread

    I need the IPL for Stihl HS45 and HS81 hedge trimmer. I am looking for a hedge trimmer, I want to take a look at the IPL of both HS45 and HS81. I would really appreciate if someone can post the IPLs or give me a link to find them. I did not see this when I post the question on the regular forum.

    BP blowers.

    But the cfm is much lower. About 470cfm instead of the usual over 600cfm for all the big boys. If you talk power, the Solo 471KAT is the strongest 65dB. But nobody use it, no track record to rely on.

    Yep! There are cities here that restrict using blowers of 65dB noise. That rule out all the big ones. Leaving the pissy little blowers.

    BP blowers.

    I hope so. I went back and fore for a long time!!! So far I am happy. Might not be a big time blower like what you guys use to like the RM8001 or Stihl BR600 etc. But I don't have a whole forest worth of leaves either. It is light and have a low tone. Hopefully it would be comparable to RM...

    Anyone using Amsoil 2 cycle oil at 64:1 or more?

    I think how much oil in the engine depend on the carb setting of the equipment. I look at the spark plug on 3 of the equipments I use 64:1. Echo HC151: the plug look a little oily, Shindaiwa C4 hand held blower: very slightly wet. Shindaiwa M242 ( newest): look dry. I have to open the muffler...

    Anyone using Amsoil 2 cycle oil at 64:1 or more?

    Thanks for the replies. Just want to get opinions. The new stuffs run a lot leaner, a tank of gas last much longer than the old stuff, that's why I feel the new equipments can use a little extra oil.

    Anyone using Amsoil 2 cycle oil at 64:1 or more?

    I am using Amsoil at 64:1 to give it a little more oil than suggested for my blower and trimmers. Should I be worry of too much oil since it suggested to use at 100:1. Any long term experience? Thanks

    BP blowers.

    Only 4 months old!!! They forgot to put grease in!!! I reported it to Mantis. I would buy direct from Mantis any time. That got to be the best experience. I tell you, it got to be the most useful tool I have. I thought I am going to use it for dethatching only, end up I use it all the time...

I bought direct from Mantis and they are very good on warrante. They send me a new transmission in 5 days and arrange to pick the old one up 2 days...

    BP blowers.

    You still remember me!!! I bought an broken FS55 engine since you told me the Homescaper engine are just as good. It really looked good. Looked well design, full crank, 4 bolt cylinder, 2 ring, looked every bit as good as the expensive commercial engines. I like the fact the crankcase is not...

    BP blowers.

    Thanks for your detail info. The lower tone is one of the reason I choose Maruyama/Kawi KBR750 over Echo. Echo tend to have a screaming tone. My dealer selling the Maruyama BL8100 for $389!!! When I was buying a short reach hedge trimmer, I was looking into Kawasaki. I looked at the IPL, the...
