Thanks Paul.
Yes I noticed that Bunnings sells a model ref. GT 222 ES
I was wondering if it is the same as the model GT 22 GES reviewed here.
It might be a newer version, hence the similarity between the product names and their look but I would like to be sure. Anyone?
Thanks
Alex

You.ll need to buy in your local mower shop to suit the primer bulb on the carburator where the fuel pump is located and there will be a prime plate on top and it's a walbro type there 4x screws and if it's a Zama type you're only going going to unscrew 2x on it and a flat head phillips and a flat head will work just make sure it's a good size of screwdriver

I don't know as I haven't needed to ask but as I have a blade cutter attachment for hardy/woody weeds etc I don't see why you would not be able to.

Kevin Lasked

Can you purchase a replacement cutting attachment for this product? If so, where from? The knob on the spool (bump feed) wore through and the spring is lost. The motor and all else is fine and the trimmer light and easy to use

Hello Kevin, I would assume any mower spares business should be able to help you with a replacement part. If you live in Adelaide, Salisbury Mowers are extremely helpful with regards to parts and spares.

What is the oil to petrol ratio plz

1 answer
monaromonaro
monaromonaro

The petrol to oil ratio would be stated on the oil bottle. However, most two stroke oil these days I think is the "highly concentrated" type, where a 50:1 ratio is the mix. That is 20ml of oil to 1 litre of petrol.

Sorry, but I do not know what you mean by "charging". Would you mean having to prime the fuel by pushing the clear "bubble" in a few times?
