Most of them that I have seen have a plastic cup fastened to the under side of the fuel cap. One cup for every tank of petrol.

we have got two of these at the moment both from ALDI, we left one unsed for almost 2 years and it still started, it did smoke a bit at first though! And i have never measured the oil yet I just stick a good dollop in and away they go! I have even used engine oil when out of two stroke oil (I wonder if veg oil would work : )

They do recon if you turn the fuel tap off and run the carb dry it is better for storing it, but i have never bothered and not had any problems.

The only thing i have ever had play up on one of these, and it was a few years ago when they were pretty new to the market, it was a Clarke tools one 650 watt and cost a fair few quid back then about £185 I think, anyway! it used to stop putting power out when it was hot, it turned out to be the earth conections on it, i squeezed the terminals tight pushed them back together and off it went for another few months! I sold it in the end!

I must add however, i dont recommend abusing yours the same way that I have abused the ones i have owned!


I was just pointing to how good they are for the money and that they will really take some stick!

Don't forget to drain the tank when not in use for along time :wink:

And try this for an easy way to get the mixture ratio correct:
