The Weed Eater FeatherLite FL20 is a gasoline-powered string trimmer meant for light trimming along the edges of residential lawns. It weighs only 8.6 pounds. This trimmer is powered by a 20 cc, two-cycle gas engine and has a 15-inch cutting path. It has a single string exit from its cutting head. Like other two-cycle equipment, this machine’s engine is lubricated by oil mixed into the gasoline.

Fuel Mix

Fl20 Weedeater Repair Manual

The FeatherLite trimmer is designed to run on a 40-to-1 mix of gas and oil. That is equal to 3.2 fluid ounces of two-cycle engine oil to 1 gallon of gasoline. Weed Eater recommends 87 octane regular gasoline with not more than 10 percent ethanol and synthetic two-cycle engine oil. When mixing fuel, add the two-cycle oil to the gasoline, and shake the can vigorously to ensure a complete mix.

Oils to Avoid

Weed Eater says to never use automotive motor oil or two-cycle outboard motor oil because their additives can foul the trimmer’s engine. Never use straight gasoline in the FeatherLite trimmer; doing so will destroy the engine and void the warranty.
