Anyone on here got away with straight gassing a weed eater or saw. Ive rebuilt saws and the owner generally says they locked up rather fast
I ask because my mom straight gassed a stihl trimmer and ran a whole tank through it. Dad uses plain ol stihl oil. Mixes a 2 gallon mix in 1.9 (ish) gallon of gas. I figure the weedeater had a bit of correct gas in it or it would have blown. Surprised it didn't anyway. But she said it was pretty empty.
Not really concerned with the trimmer (fs56) we have many and this one is just one we got for her (10lb. Lol) . Just found it incredibly odd that it's still running. I'm 100 percent sure it was straight gas she used. We actually mostly switched mostly to husqy pro trimmers because we were having our stihls rebuilt a bit more often. Then this one managed to survive straight gas
