[mems1977]

Hi Guys,

anyone having same problem with me?my brand new bg86c-e has oil leakage from muffler(where top 2 holes are) took it back to the dealer,they told me its normal for new models of bg86 c-e's to get rid off the oil that way so its so envirementaly friendly???

 

customer wouldn't like it if it drips on their expencive patio etc.

I would like to hear your valuable opinions about this blower issue.

If you are getting oil coming out of the exhaust, it sounds like there is too much in the fuel/oil mix. Two strokes should burn off any oil in the mix used and next to nothing should remain as a fluid to drip out of the exhaust.

 

A blower would be used flat out so even less chance of it building up fuel/oil mix. Is the carb adjusted correctly - too rich and it may do this but also wouldn't rev out well and would smoke!

Thanks Spud,

I have got 3 more of those blowers and we use same mixture from same can,none of them has got an issue.it revs as it shoud.

friend of mine bought one of bg 86 c-e, a week ago,he told me same thing happened to his blower.

I don't know then, usually oil coming out from the exhaust is too much oil or too rich mix.

 

The exhaust isn't carboned up is it, not sure much else would cause it!

Just checked the IPL, there are three types of exhaust, one has a spark arrestor that unscrews from the exhaust outlet so if your blower has a hexagonal nut around the exhaust outlet - undo it and take the screen out as it may well be blocked and be blowing out around the muffler bolts!

will check it mate.thanks for your helpand time.

cheers
