Reminds me when I was 19 doing community service for not having enough coin to pay the fine for driving with no rego... twice.. love driving..

I had to use a 4 stroke mower in the middle of summer, along with other young lads. I was dirty on having to do this, as you were, when working for nothing (kinda). $100 bucks a day off the fine, 8.30am - 4pm on Sat and Sun.

I had to mow this block that was on a steep slope. I discovered that the briggs and stratton didn't like going across the face of the hill. It made some BAD noises going one way, and was fine going the other. I killed it within 20 mins by going the 'bad way' as much as possible. It seized solid within 6 or seven passes at full noise... Made my day.

That's one mower down and 2 to go...

Fsck the grubber ment and their fines...

As soon as I read "slope", I knew where that story was going.

Stihl multi tool 2mix /2 stroke 95 good power and light for a combi [ current FS-94ce]

*** BEAWARE stihl 4 mix is a marketing term referring to 4mix =2stroke mix fuel and oil used in a 4 stroke motor

I used these every day for years
Pro Tip ..... if the engine has a sump it does not last /SEVERELY SHORT LIFE when operated on its side . EG honda brushcutters


I see now the aussie Stihl distribution franchise is now giving up to the greenies .
Similar to other Stihl equipment ,in Aust we only stock alot of fast moving product and delete all the high performance stuff.
Beaware that most product of high performance is still available either in Switzerland /Germany just not in Aust.
Pressure cleaners were the best unit model chassis but without the optional largest engines /pumps . The aust branch killed them off .

I wonder how many of those 4-mix engines have been destroyed by people straight-fueling them?

hi
4-mix engines
means 4 stroke
mix = mixed oil/petrol as type of fuel eg 2 stroke fuel

Its not the fuel mix really its more like a teenager having no idea or interest .!!!!
Small 10ltr jerry for 2 stroke ALL handheld equipment
Large 20 ltr jerry for straight unleaded Pushmower only
simple really ......
