What is the right gas-oil mix for leaf blower? 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.
Two-cycle engines, like those in leaf blowers, require a gas and oil mix — the oil is a special type designed to mix with gas, and not motor oil. The oil bottles will generally be for mixing with either a gallon of gas or 2½ gallons of gas, depending on the volume of the oil.
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.
A: The fuel-oil mixture ratio is 40:1. You can obtain this ratio by mixing 3.2 oz. of two cycle air cooled engine oil with one gallon of regular gas.
Does a Leaf Blower Need Engine Oil? Gas leaf blowers with 4-cycle engines need engine oil that you will need to change regularly to ensure the blower operates properly. 2-cycle leaf blowers are more common and use a mixture of oil and fuel, do they don`t require oil changes.
50 to 1 ratio is yet another common recommendation for many newer leaf blower models. To get the right 50 to 1 mix, add 2.6 ounces of oil to a gallon of gas. A 60 to 1 mix calls for 2.1 ounces of oil for the same gallon, while an 80 to 1 mix needs just 1.6 ounces of oil.
Never point the nozzle or blow debris toward people, pets or houses. Do not blow debris toward open windows or doors. Always be considerate of nearby people and property. Make sure to never leave the blower running when unattended.
Blowers are essential to powering the furnace method, supplying a high volume of air that`s injected with specific amounts of natural gas. This allows the thermal decomposition to occur. Blower airflow also assists in carrying the carbon particulate and exhaust gases through quench towers and into bag filters.
NO, all blowers are designed to be run on a specified mixture, when using the manufacturer`s recommended two stroke oils.
For a mixing ratio of 1 : 50 you need 5 litres of high-octane gas and 0.10 litres (100 ml) of STIHL two-stroke oil.
Always use a good quality 4-stroke engine oil. SAE 30, 10W-30, or 10W-40 are all acceptable oils to use in this product.

I am not getting a spark
ANSWER : No spark can be a bad switch *(need to go in and unplug it from the ignition module and retest) or your ignition module has given up the ghost.
Get a t-handle set and go online and look up the parts. A module might cost more than a new unit….I think we both know what that means! Be safe and good luck!

I have a Toro 51598 electric leaf blower. Last year a breaker in the electrical box tripped and the blower naturally stopped. But, the episode seemed to have damaged the variable-air-flow-dial which on the blower – it was either on or off, nothing inbetween worked. This year, after some solid hours of operation, it just stopped working regardless of where where the variable-air-flow-dial was set. It is worth replacing that variable-air-flow-dial and some related components, or is there likely something else wrong with it? The bushings seem fine.
ANSWER : These machines are considered “disposable” items and most service centers won’t even repair them, saying that it is not “cost effective.” I have never come across a parts list for one other than maybe the plastic housing on them (they may exist), but costwise you may be better off getting another tool unless the Toro is still under warranty.

Started PB620-ST yesterday with some difficulty. However, ran until fuel empty. Refueled today, but will not start. Spark at plug ok. Fuel flowing, but seems to overflow into air filter compartment. Does not seem to “fire” at all.
ANSWER : Sounds like your flooding the engine; I did the same thing. Wait a while to let the gas drain back to the tank. Use your primer bulb once and your choke for only ONE pull; then shut off the choke. Pull start without the choke 2-3 times and it should start.
