It was never meant to be a primary weed eater, I was just in a pinch. Great machine, it started running horribly(fuel filter) fixed it and it ran great. After reading this article I switched to royal purple oil and it runs better!After i ran the oil through for 5 minutes or so, I shut it off and it started on HALF a pull! It normally takes 2 from cold, now 1 or "less." Maintaining 4 weed eater engines at 50 hours oil change intervals and a single quart will easily last all season. The couple dollars is worth it to me. I believe in overkill with my equipment because it is my liveleyhood. Noticeable difference. I plan on changing oil after she goes on a full cycle of cutting, then running gas dry and putting her on backup duty. <br /><br />Thanks for this article.

I went with Royal Purple HPS because of the Synerlac additive which is supposed to create a film on components to keep them lubricated even if there's no oil present. Thought this would be good for these engines since the go about a week or more between uses.<br /><br />If you look at the picture I posted of the camshaft, that whole compartment doesn't contain a reservoir of oil. It gets pumped into it when the string is pulled or when the engine is running and then it drains out and gets pumped back in.<br /><br />My best guess is that since the Synerlac keeps the parts lubricated even if the oil has drained out of that area and it has been dry for days, the components move more easily which makes it easier to start. Pulling the start cord feels easier.OrganicLawnDIYhttp://www.organiclawndiy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375318389927737141.post-46648347710320222282016-05-29T08:18:38.033-04:002016-05-29T08:18:38.033-04:00What does the brand of oil have anything to do wit...What does the brand of oil have anything to do with how the engine starts?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434979878344559641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375318389927737141.post-90550801750700813282015-04-02T13:41:22.983-04:002015-04-02T13:41:22.983-04:00Funny I just bought Royal Purple for the same trim...Funny I just bought Royal Purple for the same trimmer but was looking for information before using it.
