"All sin is washed away in the Holy goodness of Beer"
Book of Redeye, Psalm 69
I run Opti 2in all my 2 stroke. Have done since about 2010. Use a fraction more than 10m/litre. If in doubt I use more rather than less.
Checked some exhaust ports on my whippies with about yrs use and no problems at all. With cheap 2 stroke oil they would begetting blocked.
I have 3 Shindy backpacks. EB 802 purchased in 2010 and is still going strong. Used it as the onlY BP until 2015. When we use them they are often going full throttle for 30-60 mins.
Clean air filters, fuel filters, breather tube and good quality oil seems to keep them going.

Bought the shindy EB 802 when it was first available.
Remember the first time I used it on a garden make-over I was standing on a moss rock and the blower spun me round 360 degrees.
The blower will run all day every day.
Run the Opti-2 + weekly maintenance.
Had a mate work on manifolds/ports and gained an extra 12cc.(No Batteries Required.)
Would have to be one of best pieces of power equipment I've ever owned.

Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
It really can't be that under powered for a backpack blower, can it ?
On air volume figures (the figures that count), its more than 25% down on my hand held Ego.
If you need a big powerful backpack blower, petrol is still the only option.
Cheers Fred.
The Husky battery blower I was referring to.
Yeah if you're gonna bother putting something on your back it's gotta be powerful
Getting a bit of topic with Husky in a Stihl thread but its keeping the forum alive in Winter, Checkout how Skinny the Noozle is.....
Cheers Garry
Husky 550ibtx back pack velocity 195 kph volume 12.8 m³/min can't find a price but i would guess blower + battery at least $1600
Hitachi RB24EAP hand held velocity 272kph volume 12.6 m³/min last one I bought cost me $157
