What is the gas/oil mixture for this model
For model number PE550
Hello Gary, thank you for your inquiry. According to our research, you need to mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. This ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline. We hope this information is useful!

Will not start due to engine being flooded with fuel. Choke is in the off position. After two to three pulls the spark plug is again saturated with fuel
For model number PE550
Hello Lou, thank you for the query. An engine gets flooded if the fuel is too rich. If the air filter is clogged, for instance, the engine will not get enough air, and the mix ratio cannot be obtained. The excess fuel can leak into the spark plug and other parts and cause them to flood. We are giving a simple solution to fix this:
1- Turn the weed eater switch on.
2- Set choke to "off".
3- Grab the throttle and, at the same time, pull the starter cord. This might take 8–10 pulls or more. It depends on how flooded the engine is.
4- After several pulls, you will see smoke. That is the excess fuel being burned off. Do not let go of the throttle.
5- When the smoke has dissipated, you can release the throttle.
If the issue still persists, you may need to check the carburetor assembly, part number PS9970517, to fix the issue. We hope this helps!
Hi Eric, thank you for your questions. The spark plug gap setting for your trimmer is 0.025 inches. We hope this helps!

Remove the gear assembly by removing the three Torx screws holding it to the main body, remove gas tank from assembly and set aside without removing gas lines. Remove cover, with blade still installed, that gains access to the gears, remove the large gear and wash out the grease with gasoline. Put penetrating oil like PB Blaster or Liquid
... Read more Wrench on the end of the bolt at the bottom of the bowel-shaped clutch bell and let it work in. Then, take an Allen wrench that fits the bolt in the small gear and clamp it in a vise with the short end pointing straight up. Set the recess of the bolt on the Allen wrench. This will put the bowl-shaped clutch bell that has 4 holes in it up. Take 2 #2 Phillip's screwdrivers and put them in one of the holes directly across from each other so they form an "X" with the right screwdriver closest to you and the left screwdriver behind the right one.. Then, pushing the screwdriver in the right hand and pulling the screwdriver in the left hand will remove the clutch bell in a counter-clockwise motion. Reverse the above when installing a new gear.
