power washer question

I have a power washer and have not used it some years. It runs on oil/gas mixture. I don't have the manual anymore and I can not find it on the web. Does anyone know if there is a rule of thumb such as a quart of oil for every 5 gallons etc? Thanks

 

just google the make and model number. manuals for most stuff that comes with manuals (lawnmowers, cribs, coffeepots are some i've found personally)are available on the web. i lost the manual for my riding mower and googled it, found it in pdf form on the manufacturer's website...

 

I tried that. Its a craftsman and sears wants to cahrge $20.

 

Our new washer takes it straight but the old washer gas can says 50:1.

 

most are 50:1 mix that equals 2.8 oz oil to 1 gal gas

 

50: 1 ratio is 2.5 oz per gallon.
40:1 is the 2.8 oz that is commonly sold for use in leafblowers, etc.

 

oops my bad!!!! that may be why my stuff smokes a little more than others!!

 

if i remember correctly, the instructions are on the little bottles of oil.

 

:iagree: What she said!
