Last I knew the 4 mix is NOT A 4 STROKE ENGINE!!
Lubrication and 4 stroke vs. 2 stroke are separate issues. And yes, the 4 mix is a 4 stroke!

Who cares, as long as it still doesn't run on streight gas?
The next trimmer I get WILL be a Dolmar!!
The MS-22 is 8 lbs, very powerful and the startingest S.O.B. I've ever used.
It is way up on my wish list.
It is a 2 stroke though.

When my bump head wore out on my Mauryama. I replaced the head with a Grass Gator. It takes from .095 to .130 precut lines. You can use 4 lines but I only use 2.
I have been using .105, it is a whole lot less trouble than a bump head.
I just cut a couple of extra lines and stick in my back pocket and can get about a tank of gas ran through before I have to put the first replacement line in.
Of course it all depend on what I'm trimming, chainlink eats it up a little faster.
:agree2:
We've got one. It's about the lightest thing out there that's at least light-duty commercial rated. You can actually use it one handed it's so light. Starts by the 2nd pull everytime when cold sometimes the first when cold. The only negative I have about is the big guard for the bump head, I removed part of the guard and went to a manual head but to each his own as far as cutter heads.
How much are they?
My wife went out and bought a new Honda push mower and she seems to like it but I prefer my 1982 Lawn Boy because it is much lighter in weight. I have used the Lawn Boy since new and have no complaints except the steel deck rotted out and I replaced it with an aluminum one. The engine has run fine. As for the Weedeater, which I purchased new is too short also and I went back to my $5 Poulan Pro, straight shaft, which I got at the flea market.I'm surprised to hear the comments about the Hondas being junk. I've always used Honda push mowers and they can't be beat. The Honda trimmer was actually my 1st choice, but I didn't want to spend that much so I just got a Stihl FS46 last week. Believe it or not the only reason I got the Stihl is because my Homelite is too short and hurts my back. I've been beating the CRAP out of this sx135 bandit for 16 years and it won't die! I can run it wide open with all she's got all day and it loves every minute of it.
