Gasoline –Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality.
ECHO gas blowers run on a 50:1 ratio of gas and oil mixture. You can do your own mix or purchase premix gas/oil.
What is the fuel/oil ratio for my product? A 50:1 ratio with 89 through 93 Octane fuel can be used in all ECHO 2-stroke equipment, provided the oil is ISO-L-EGD and JASO M345 FD certified.
If you are using too lean of a gas mix, the pistons will not be lubricated properly, and they will freeze up in time. This happens very quickly when you use regular gas in a two-cycle engine. You will not be able to pull the draw cord to start the blower once the pistons have locked up.
For most engines like lawnmowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, and generators, experts recommend that you use unleaded gas with an 87-octane rating and a max of 10% ethanol. This is typically the regular gas you find at the pump. DO NOT use 15% ethanol or higher.
Use a mixture of 50 parts leaded or unleaded regular grade gasoline (min. octane 87) and one part 50:1, ECHO 2-stroke oil.
DIY Frequently Asked Questions / What will happen if you put straight gas in a 2-cycle engine? Without any oil in the fuel for lubricating, the engine will seize up and will probably be ruined. Always remember to use the oil/gas mixture in the proper ratio recommended by the mower manufacturer.
The majority of leaf blower manufacturers recommend regular unleaded gasoline for their products. Most of them would recommend 87 octane gas or up, with an ethanol blend of 10 percent or less.
The right gas to oil ratio will depend on your backpack leaf blower. Usually, a two-cycle engine uses a 50:1 or 40:1 2 stroke oil to gas ratio. But to know the exact measurements of the oil and gas you need to mix, it is best to go and check your owner`s manual.

Where is the flywheel located on an Echo PB251 gas leaf blower?
ANSWER : Before you go through the trouble of dismantling the blower to get to the flywheel you should perform a compression test. 140 psi is ideal. Less than 100 its probably not worth repairing. Less than 90 it shouldn’t run.
