Hello, I have been using a Stihl 56 RC-E for about two years now. I have a neighborhood lawn business so I mow about 4-5 lawns a week. This may sound crazy, but when I bought the weed eater from a local dealer, the salesman that sold it to me said to use 93% octane fuel WITHOUT any oil mixed in. I have two other people that were there at the time of purchase that also remember him telling me that. So for close to two years now I have been running it with just 93% octane fuel, and we have had no problems with it. The other day my pull start broke so I brought it into the shop. A couple days later they call me to tell me that my engine is broken because I have been running only gas through it. I went in today to tell them why I was only using gas without oil(because THEY told me to), and they said that none of their salesmen would ever say that. They even told me that it was pretty much impossible that it has survived this long. Anyways, I don't want to spend $300 on a new weed eater because of their mistake. What do you guys think I should do?
