9 best gasoline trimmers for gardening

When choosing devices for mowing grass in a summer cottage, everyone is faced with the problem of acquiring a good and durable unit at an affordable price. The trimmer market is dazzling with a variety of models. It all depends on the specific needs of the buyers. Someone needs power, someone needs ergonomics, and someone needs functionality. In order to simplify the task of selecting a suitable device for a summer residence, this article will consider the 9 best gasoline models, indicating their Detailed characteristics, advantages, disadvantages.

The reason why the trimmer fails may be:

• Tank overflow;
• Excessive pumping of fuel into engines equipped with a manual supercharger;
• Wear in the motor of valves, cylinders, injectors, cam followers and other moving parts;
• The tanks are out of gasoline and / or oil;
• Spark plugs out of order;
• Clogged fuel or air filters;
• The valves in the motor are out of alignment or burnt.

Starting the lawn mowers for the first time or after a long period of inactivity

A lawn mower differs from a trimmer in that it is NOT a fishing line that acts as a grass cutter, but a mechanical reducer or a winch based on gears, equipped with a knife. The knife drive is much more powerful than the line mechanism. A powerful lawn mower is also used when cutting bushes. Both Chinese and European lawn mowers are NOT special when the declared power is real.

To lubricate the gears of the reducer, lithol or grease is used. After checking the gearbox, prepare the motor itself for operation. Follow the instructions above. If the start fails. The fault is already in the engine.

How to start a petrol trimmer?

• Prerequisites
• How to start a trimmer motor or lawn mowers?
• Starting the lawn mowers for the first time or after a long period of inactivity
• Adding fuel through the spark plug holes
• Checking the ignition system
• Cleaning the engine
• Checking the integrity of spark arresters
• Unstable carburetor operation
• Draining fuel from the gas tank

How to start the trimmer correctly. The question that the owners are puzzled with in the event of a device breakdown. And after a successful repair of the trimmer, the owner tries to avoid repeating the same situation.

How to start a trimmer motor or lawn mowers?

The new trimmer is easy to use in water.

• Check the motor type of the device. Trimmers are equipped with a 2 or 4 stroke motor.
• Buy oil for this type of engine. Gasoline for the trimmer. AI-92/93/98, sold at all gas stations.
• Mix oil with gasoline. Mineral oil is mixed in a ratio of 1: 34 with gasoline, synthetics. B 1: 50 Follow the trimmer manufacturer’s recommendations for oil viscosity (see bottle label). All-season oil 5W-30 is used more often. DO NOT use untested car oils.
• Pour a small amount (e.g. 0.5 liters) of the resulting fuel into the tank.
• Close the air damper by sliding the desired lever (see instructions).
• Turn the ignition key (or handle) to position included. Without this, the trimmer will NOT start. Beginners often make this mistake.
• Pump some fuel into the carburetor. If there is a manual rocking chair with separate button or lever (see instructions). It takes 4-7 clicks.
• Place the trimmer on a level surface.
• Pull on the starter cord carefully until you feel it slow down. Then pull it out sharply, but not completely. Repeat this movement up to 4 more times.
• If the engine does NOT start, open the air damper again, otherwise the candles will flood with gasoline with further movements of the cord. Perform 2-3 attempts to start the engine with an open handbrake.
• If the engine still does not start, close the choke and make a few more attempts to start it.
• After starting the engine, press the throttle lever, engage idle.

Adding fuel through the spark plug holes

If the trimmer engine has manual pumping and the device does NOT start, add a little fuel to the engine itself through the spark plugs. Do the following.

• Check if the fuel level in the tank is sufficient to drain a small amount. It only takes 20 ml.
• Remove the cap from the candle and unscrew it with a candle wrench.
• If the spark plug is dirty on used trimmers, rinse and ignite it. There should not be any deposits on the electrode of the candle. DO NOT damage the ceramic center conductor insulator. In a new trimmer, check the spark plugs for a factory defect.
• Return the spark plug back and check the spark ignition (discharge between the electrodes) when the starter is triggered.
• Remove the candle again. Using a 20 or 50 cc syringe, pour 20 ml of gasoline into the plug hole.
• Insert and fix the candle, set the value of its technological gap at least and not more than a millimeter.
• Pump up fuel using the pump button (or lever). If your trimmer model has one. Press the button every 4 seconds.

Which trimmer is better: electric or gasoline

Working pressure cycle: 2-stroke or 4-stroke

Work is work: you miss somewhere, little by little. Piston flies.

• The 4-stroke unit saves fuel and lubricants. The oil is poured into a separate container, it does NOT burn out. Such models last longer, because they overheat less. Those who have a lot of mowing should take a closer look at the four-stroke model.
• 2-stroke is fueled with a mixture of gasoline and oil. Since oil burns along with gasoline, it is overrun once every five. But such models have a simplified piston system, so there is nothing special about the Riot of salesmen.

See the comparison table for the duty cycle of 2-stroke and 4-stroke lawn mowers.

The four-stroke trimmer mows equal pleasure. But if you have to often being driven gas, 2-stroke is better. These models are capable of developing up to 10 thousand rpm and above. I recommend walking trimmers for home use Patriot, Sadko, uleo-Mac, Interskol.

Electrokosa: advantages and disadvantages

Everything is clear with the trimmer: plug it in, press the button and get started. In work and care, she is NOT picky. It is enough to clean the cutting head, bleed the cooling holes and periodically check the lubrication in the gearbox. The only thing is that you will have to carry them around with you, since the operation of the tool does NOT depend on fuel and engine oil. Look at the location of the engine: the lower one adds maneuverability, but mows damp grass dangerously. Can short-circuit.

Trimmer advantages	limitations
Quieter than gasoline.	Doesn’t work without electric carry.
Works regardless of the quality of fuel and engine oil.	Low-power.
Does NOT emit exhaust gases.	DOES NOT cut shrubs.
Light weight.	High line consumption.

Starter

How quickly and easily the tool starts up depends on it. It is good if it is equipped with a quick start (EASY START) or cold start (PRIMER):

• Easy cold start is carried out by pumping fuel into the carburetor. This is done manually by pressing the Primer membrane on the mower body a few times;
• Manual EASY START provides a twitch-free start. When the starter moves smoothly, energy is accumulated first. Then it is instantly released, rotating the shaft and starting the engine.

Cover clamp

One-sided clamp is adjustable in height, double-sided. There is. One side. Good, not spinning. But its level remains unchanged. And this plays a role. For example, mowing with a small knife will be fine, but placing a larger diameter will clog the grass. Mows heavily on dense and semi-recumbent greens.

The convenience of working with the device depends on the design of the handle.
– D-shaped. Good choice for mowing grass and trees.
– J-shaped is suitable for mowing tall thickets.
– T-shaped (bicycle). Versatile for large areas. It allows a firm grip on the mower with both hands. Facilitates mowing and increases maneuverability. Well, if the control of the unit is placed on the handle, it is impossible to break away from such a trimmer until the fuel runs out.

Which trimmer to choose: petrol or electric

If you plan to mow your lawn, it is preferable to use an electric mow. Low-power units do an excellent job with young grass, since they have a small section line or a small diameter knife.

Mowing a large area where shrubs grow is only possible with a garden trimmer with a gasoline engine. Let’s figure out the differences between them in order to understand which trimmer is better. Petrol or electric.
