recover from an error in puttng 2 stroke mix in a petrol engine?
I accidentally put 2t mix (40;1) in my petrol blower, and now it won't start. I drained the small tank, washed it through with petorl, took out and cleaned the spark plug, but it won't start. Is there a way back?
Unless it was a 2 stroke and he could have seized it by not having enough oil, then it's time to buy a new one!

Presumably your blower has a 4 stroke engine, and you've just put some two stroke mixture in by mistake? No problem - it will just smoke a bit until the two stroke has been used up. Pull the plug out again, crank the engine a few times to clear it (check for a spark)...heat the plug up if you can, quickly pop it back in and away you should go.
