Curious most oil mixes have stabilizer these days built in but I've always used one or the other startron seems to be geared more fore gas with ethanol.
Last few days I've been trying to figure this out got a new poulan pro hedger I had one for 3 years that liked more then the echo and stihl I also had never a problem with it my exact same model 3 years ago had the longer epa engine 125 hour the new one had 50 hour. And THIS IS MY FIRST SEIZED MOTOR EVER close to 30 2 cycles but here goes
New poulan pro hedger let it sort of break in for 1/ 4 tank the day before use heat cycled it a few times ran it quater throttle and idle mostly. It was a little boggy at first richened up the low 1/8 1/4 turn a little smoky but figured since it was a new engine it's problem good for now. High jet I left it seemed perfect.
Next day 2 hours of constant use trimming half throttle probably mostly (forsythia bushes) excessive spooge out the exhaust. It died mid bush. Went to pull it over 10 times nothing before this it would start 1st pull noticed it felt a little odd pulled the plug pretty fouled with oil no plug in pulling it over it was 3x harder to pull then usual when you take out a plug and pull over a 2 cycle. OR Did the GEAR BOX SEIZED and it was somehow still engaged to the motor not letting it start?
I'm still trying to understand what happened.
50:1 husqvarna LS
91 e free has
Knock off seafoam
Possibly octane booster only raises it a point or so
Possibly marvel mystery oil
I know I finished up the last 2 in something and wasn't my usual routine.
Mix was a week old.
Pulled the muffler off my echo sr 225 ( 2 years old) maybe 10 15 hours tops. It had a slight scoring on the piston.
I've been running echo oil 50:1
93 octane 10 percent ethanol
Seafoam for last 10 years never a problem
My first time using this husky oil it seems like it may have done this or one of the other factors bit my great running echo which has always started 1 pull even cold even has a little scoring on the side of the Piston
Any ideas? Is there anyway you can get a motor seized way rich? I don't think it was hydro locked.
In the end I justreturned it rather then investigate any further since I only had the darn thing for less then 24 hours.
