How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?

We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :

The CS26 requires regular unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 87 or more. It can`t operate with blended fuels or fuels with additives, such as ethanol. The mixing specifications are 1 gallon of gasoline to 2.6 ounces of engine oil.
The air filter may be clogged. If the air filter is clogged, the engine will get too much fuel and not enough air. As a result, the engine may not start. If the air filter is clogged, replace it.
That first number is the amount of fuel, the second part the two stroke oil. Most power tools work on a ratio of 25/1, so that means you need to mix 25 parts fuel to 1 part two stroke oil. Once done so you then pour that mix into the fuel tank of the unit.
For the best performance from your small engine, pick up Ryobi`s 2.2oz 4 Cycle engine oil. This 20W-50-oil is formulated for superior engine performance and protection. For the life of your engine, trust Ryobi 4 Cycle oil.
The most common problem with a string trimmer is that the unit runs out of string. The string may also be twisted or loose on the spool. The cutting head may be dirty or the head outlet guide may be bent. An electric trimmer`s power cord, switch, or motor may fail.
The most common problem with a strimmer not starting is that there`s a problem with the fuel mix. Double check that you`ve used 40 parts fresh unleaded petrol to 1 part 2-stroke oil (40:1). Check the petrol you`ve used isn`t stale.
Only use unleaded gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol.
Mix at 2.6 oz. per gallon (US). NOTE: Do not use automotive lubricant or 2-cycle outboard motor lubricant.
Most STIHL gasoline-powered equipment runs on a 50:1 mixture of gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil.

When in operation the Ryobi S430 string trimmer leaks oil continuously. How can I fix this problem?
ANSWER : Ryobi told me the unit can’t have the s430 trimmer bottom end raised higher than the engine at any time, or it will leak. Apparently they released a product to compete with other companies for cheap 4 cycle trimmers without much care for the end user.
