Off-Season Storage There are a number of issues that affect storage of power equipment. Gasoline breaks down and leaves a varnish-like coating inside fuel tanks, fuel lines, carburetor circuits and makes rubber and plastic parts brittle. Additionally, tires flatten and dry-rot, and unprotected metal surfaces rust. To avoid damage and expensive repairs you may perform a Spring Service before you store. This may include the following (based on type of equipment): Change your oil and oil filter (on models with internal oiling and oil filter). Inspect fuel filter and replace if necessary.
Inspect air filter for dirt accumulation and clean or replace. Inspect spark plugs and replace if fouled. Sharpen blades/chains or replace if damaged. (mowers and chainsaws) Drain fuel from fuel tank and run engine until it runs out of fuel. (alternatively you can dose fuel with a fuel stabilizer) Grease all bearings and mechanisms requiring grease Inspect wear items such as belts, starter cords, tires and cables and replace if damaged or badly worn.
Lift equipment and set on blocks to avoid flattening and cracking tires. Cover equipment to protect from sun and weather Check these items off your 'Honey-Do' list and you should have no frustrations next Season when the equipment is needed again!

I really hope it can run a blade. Yamaha r1 workshop manual 2009. Never used a weedeater with a blade before. I guess if the 25 can't handle a blade, it will bog and not cut well.
Still curious about Jughead's statement that you don't go wide open with blades. Anybody know of a tutorial on using weedeater's with blades? I actually read part of the manual for one of Husqvarna's brushcutters and it touched on general use. I should go back and read the whole section on using a blade. Ugh, I just got through skimming the service manual.
I hope a new carb kit gets this running. Cause it would be a nightmare to work on without a bunch of special tools.

I've run blades on my larger Shindaiwa's. With a good sharp 80 tooth blade it is amazing how much you can clear. I used 80 tooth initially on my property to clear a few acres of sapling. Going through a 4' sapling is a breeze with a sharp blade. A lot more trigger work involved with a blade.
I know there are lots of blade options out there but I've used an 80 tooth more than any other. Goes through big blackberry stalks with ease and isn't as jarring on the machine as blades with fewer teeth. Just keep it out of the dirt so it will stay sharp. After a few years the woody stuff stops growing if you keep after it. Now I do most of my cutting with string. I put in a lot of hours initially clearing the jungle. Your place almost sounds like out here in Western Oregon.

I have wondered about the carbide toothed brushcutter blades I see online. I have also heard I can use a circular saw blade but I don't know if that is true. Thing with sawblades is there is coarse grass mixed in with the blackberries and I don't think the sawblade will cut grass well. The funny thing is, we have explosive growth in the spring but seems mostly woody to me. Not the soft stuff I think of when I think of true jungle.
I have noticed some interesting things about horsepower on a couple of different brushcutters. This Shindaiwa had 1.4 (IIRC) horsepower according to the manual Jug posted. Husqvarna's 336fr 34.5cc brushcutter is supposed to have 1.9 HP and Stihl FS-130 36.3cc 4-mix has 1.9 BHP (BHP is different from straight HP. To lazy to do any more research). This isn't an apples to apples comparison but I thought it was interesting to see what a pre EPA machine rates HP wise. If my Shindaiwa doesn't work with the blade, I will be in the market to get a true brushcutter.
More than anything else, it will be a decision between the 4-mix and (what I think is) still a 2 cycle engine, X-Torq. I know am choosing more than what I want, I need to choose what I will use.
A 345FR would be fun as all get out but carrying it to do the mowing would stink. Even if my Shindaiwa can't clear the brush, it ought to do a great job mowing down grass.
The way I look at it, I will have a couple of summers of clearing then everything will be mowing kneeish high grass. It is about 2 acres of rolling fields with some wooded areas. Would be great to get it to where I can mow with a regular lawn mower. May not be possible.
If you do go stihl go with the fs240.the others are 4 mix with valves.got torque but its wide open throttle.they dont do too good at half throttle they just dont hold the rpms too well if what your cutting requires 1 2 throttle.the old fs250 was a force to be rckoned with too bad it has been replaced with the strato fs240. Look into tanaka.i have a tbc340 and that thing has all of the power needed and is reliable as all get out.8 years and it still starts on the first pull and wants to rip the cord out of my hand.since it didn't owe me anything i modded the muffler and removed the cat and now it is just a completely different animal.i'm going to tear it down shortly and do a base gasket removal if i have enough clearance.may even rering it and go up a size or so on the fixed jet in the carb.the fixed jet rotary carbs must be more forgiving on mods than the adjustable ones. I know one of our members really likes his FS 130 but the more I read about 4-mix, the more troublesome it looks. I am not saying it won't run right but the 4-mix system seems to be very complicated. For the price of a FS 240 or 336FR, I could get a the 40cc Tanaka. Which would probably be more machine than I need.

I can't tell for sure but it looks like there isn't much price difference between the two sizes of Tanaka brushcutters. But there isn't a dealer near me!
Both dealers are over 20 miles away. I might have to order the brushcutter online. Parts are available online thought. That is something I can't say about Stihl. BTW, I have been think about letting the cat out of my Husky 435 and Blower. Is it hard to do? The only issue I see is that I don't have access to any welding or brazing supplies.
You probably won't need a dealer on the tanaka.i just changed the original plug in mine back in the summer. With muffler mod's the only thing i use is a Mapp torch.that is. Usually for uncrimping the flange if its not welded,soldered from the factory.most time i have spent on a muffler is like 30-45 minutes.sometimes they dont even have to come open.just drill or grind the holes then flush the muffler out really well with water.
