congrats hicks.
As proven many times before, you are just too quick for me

GM 22Hicks you were missed ! Z-man has been cleaning up !!

There you go. Told you I was awake.

And why didn't you post ?

[ROMEO]

Saw 2 heavyweights thought better off it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, g.m., well I'm up & awake now. Probably will have trouble sleeping tonight.

Outside trying to figure out my snow blower.

What seems to be the problem other than the fact that it won't start????

If it has started, you are 90% there to using it.

Ok, my frustration; blower mixture 16 / 1 (16:1 - who comes up with these mixtures ? Dumb !!!

The red gas containers don't have any indication as to their size - # of gallons
One already has some gas in it, but no idea how much.

I have never heard of 16:1 mixture, but that really doesn't present a problem.
If the two stroke engine oil is a 200 ml container, use an empty gas container and dump it into the empty gas container,
If it is 50 ml can, the fill with 50x16=800 ml or .8 litres of gas
Go to the gas station and fill this container to the level of 16x200=3200 ml or 3.2 litres.
This will be the proper mixture required.
If you already have gas in the tank of the blower, remove it, before you put in the new gas.
Make sure that you use PREMIUM gas. This is essential.
Let me know how you make out.
By the way, what is the make of your blower and what is the horsepower rating?

[22hicks]

How do you empty the gas from the blower ?? Too heavy to turn over.

The only suggestion that I have is to have someone to help you to tip the blower so the gas comes out into container for storage.
It makes a great fire starter if you are VERY CAREFUL.
If you have improper gas mixture, It will never start.

Thanks z-man, but I quit.

Ok, finally found the owner's manual. Don't know where that 16:1 came from, but it's suppose to be 32:1

But for now, I give up. So frustrated. I'm going out for awhile. Need to cool off. Really not happy.

I appreciate your frustration, but this can all be overcome with patience and following a plan.
Don't worry we'll get it to work , even if I have to come over and help you.

Still no problem. Size of your two stroke engine oil container times 32 in gas required . i.e. 50ml of oil x 32 = amount of gas required

50x32=1.6 litres of gas.
