Auto-Rx in an edger, how long would you say?

[reyjay1]

Idea struck me yesterday when i fired up the gas powered edger, I'm sure this unit is seriously sludged. About 10+ years old, gets run maybe 15 min every 1 to 2 weeks, I thought "what a perfect candidate for my newly arrived Autorx'. still starts on the first pull, but it went thru several season in the past without changing the oil. So how long do you think a treatment should be left in? I figure dose with an once and leave in all season then change again at the end?

I'm a new member in Melb and want to get some AUTO RX.
Any ideas please??
Also, does it get the build up of crud off cam shafts etc?
Thanks a lot.

Hi e_man, it does do that very slowly, the right way. Do a search on it and there have been several people here who have posted before and after pictures with the valve covers off. Mostly very noticable results, you just have to use it per instructions and give it time.

reyjay1 exactly correct. Glad to see you read the website and obviously know how Auto-Rx works and you work it well.Thanks

Thank you Frank!, Hope you are feeling better.

If your edger has a 2-cycle engine, do not put Auto-Rx in!

Nope, 4-stroker... good warning though!
