I have a feather lite weed eater . Do u have to mix gas and oil , or straight gas?.
For model number FX265
Hi Edward, thank you for the question. We have found that like other small-engine power tools, weed eaters require a mixture of engine oil and gasoline to run properly. The right ratio of oil to gas mixture is one part oil to forty parts gas for your weed eater. The recommended way of mixing both is to begin by adding one gallon of normal lead-free gas to the gas canister. Afterwards, pour in 3.3 oz. bottle of high-quality dual cycle engine oil. We hope this information is useful!

Both the Fuel line and the Engine fuel line, where dry rotted.
1) While still attached to the fuel tank, I first sized up the old fuel lines with the newer fuel lines.
2) With a pair of needle nose players, I then removed the old dry rotted fuel ?? lines, from the fuel tank.
3) I cleaned the fuel tank and around the carburetor area, to insure that there was no debris, that could possibly fa ... Read more ll into the path of the new fuel lines installation.
4) I then installed the smaller one of the fuel lines, so that it would be out of the way, of the larger fuel line. I Pulled the fuel line through the smaller hole in the fuel tank, with needle nose players. I pulled the smaller fuel line out through the fuel tank filler hole, attached the fuel filter to the smaller fuel line. I Made sure that the fuel filter was extended to the furthest end of the fuel tank bottom. Six inches in all. I then attached the smaller fuel line to the carburetor.
5) I Installed the larger fuel line, followed the same procedures as the smaller fuel line.
6) Both fuel lines where cut on an angle for easy installation. No lubricant was necessary.
7) I filled up the fuel tank with fresh fuel and oil, new air filter and spark plug. It started on the first pull. Amazing.
