Thank you. Well spoken and presented. And yes, very helpful.
Good job, engine sounds great.
John Kerr thanks for watching!
Awesome tutorial Thanks!
Thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful!
good video - thanks. what grade of oil do you use?
Great idea!
Please help i have a 35cc 4 stroke brush cutter brand new..i am really confused which oil i should use?
Great video. It looked liked very little oil came out of the engine but quite a bit went back in. I thought that seem strange. Appreciate the detailed instructions. Cheers
I know im asking randomly but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Felix Martin instablaster ;)
@Korbyn Rowan thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Korbyn Rowan it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
@Felix Martin happy to help =)
My small engine mechanic said do not use modern automotive oil in air cooled motors. They have no ZDDP (Zinc) in the oil. Use only small engine oil or I use a high zinc racing oil. Brad Penn grade 1 10w-30
Thanks for the advice.
not what honda says....
What is the diameter of the shaft the main bar so that we can attach tiller to it cause these tiller attachments comes in to two variables one is 28 mm and other is 26 mm
Cause I want to buy this Honda brush cutter
Please
Hi handsome I ordered mine from acme tools and it came with a broken starter. I'm expecting a new one to arrive tomorrow. Good luck with yours. How many hours do you get for every full tank of gas?
My friend I was wondering i have a honda gx35 4 stroke strimmer can I get attachments for this modal thanks for help.
Thank you, great instruction, I am buying 10 machines, this instruction will help me.
0:44 The idle and vibration seems pretty rough? I need to buy a new trimmer, thinking of getting the Honda but they shouldn't vibrate that much given the 7-8kg weight on the GX35?
It's because he had no attachment on it which is a big no no.
I have one with flex shaft. Do you know where can I get the straight shaft to fit with the engine?
Mohd Haikal Mohd Nashuha big
Ebay.com or surf the internet for honda 4 stroke trimmer drive shafts
Siringe! Brand and model please?
does it make any difference if shaft is bent? mine got bent in transit. also is possible to change straight shaft to split shaft
Yes, you change the shaft as the inner shaft are all square.
I don’t get it. I’m looking at the Versatool and Versattach and they look like the same product to me 🤷♀️
I see you’re running synthetic oil. How has it performed for you? I just bought the 35cc Honda VersAttach system, and I was thinking about doing the same.
Hey Super, looking to buy a Honda Trimmer. VersAttach looks great do you recommend it and is it built well??
@@karl2051 - Thanks for trusting my opinion on the matter, Karl. By and large, Honda is almost always a no-brainer. It’s hard to ignore the legendary reliability and estimable branch cachet that Honda brings to the party. In all fairness, however, my honest advice is to take a pass on the VersAttach system. Here’s why: I love the beautiful 4-stroke Honda engine (it purrs like a sewing machine), but I don’t love the attachments. The edger, for example, frequently clogs with mud, because the fender guard wraps over both sides of the blade. (Stihl, has an open guard design, and I never noticed the difference until I struggled with the incessant clogging of my Honda counterpart.) The blower attachment looks really cool, but underperforms as a consequence of its unconventional design. My experience with the entire system leads me to suspect that Honda developed VersAttach in response to the market, but really never committed to improving or expanding it. They just kind of launchd the lineup and seemingly forgot about it. I’ve been a little underwhelmed by the experience of investing in the ecosystem. As you know, it’s premium gear at a premium price, but I think you may be happier with a workhorse system such as Stihl. In fact, the Honda build quality is good, but I wouldn’t call it extraordinary. Admittedly, the Honda branding impresses the neighbors, but that doesn’t get you too far.
@@karl2051 - On balance, though, Hondas are appreciated most by their diehard longevity over many years. I anticipate that I’ll be using my system for the long haul. Hopefully, the attachments will hold up as well as the power head will, even though they will inevitably continue to frustrate me to no end.
@@karl2051 - Good luck with your decision, all in all. There are no bad choices at this level, but I would love to see you buy something that thrills you every time you use it.
@@karl2051 - Glad you took the plunge and got what you needed, Karl. I’ll be interested in seeing what you think. Bottom line, it’s a Honda system, and it’s hard to find fault with that. Enjoy it in good health.
How many hours between oil changes?
The initial oil change should be done at 10 hours or 1 month. The subsequent oil changes should be done at 50 hours or 6 months.
If your working it hard change it at 20 hours, they hold so little oil the cost is of oil is tiny.
hey whats your thought on this machine? im looking at one now on ebay for gx35 Honda 36cc its $369aud, is it worth it? does it go good? i live on a decent sized farm and would be using it a fair bit to keep the garden clean. would really appreciate a reply thanks!
It's a great power head. The reason I love the Honda is the low noise level, no mixing of oil, and no oil smell from the exhaust. However, the powerhead is a bit heavier when compared to the Stihl and Echo equivalents, since they are both 2 cycle engines and do not included the added weight of an oil sump. Assuming Honda offers all the attachments you need, I would go with the Honda. Personally I prefer the selection of attachment options available with the Stihl KombiSystem (for example the Bed Redefiner).
Awesome thank you so much for the reply, left a like
Much appreciated. Let us know if and what you decide to purchase.
I've had the GX35 (35.8cc) for about 5 years. Honda 4 stroke engine, I like not
having to premix gas/oil and it's a little quieter. I weed wack about
6000 SF FT of brush a few times a year.
Down side, it's heavier than a 2 stroke because it's a 4 stroke engine which has additional parts like valves, valves springs, cam, cam chain, cam chain gears and the head.
It's about 2-5 lbs heavier than a trimmer w/ a 2 stroke engine.
Also 2 stroke engines have more torque, so in thick brush (green brush
is heavier than dry dead brush), the GX35 will bog down. You'll have to learn how to move/sweep the trimmer slower so you won't stall the engine while keeping the throttle pinned.
I prefer using a nylon .130" trim line, diamond shape.
Doctor Shred cool! The heaviness won't bother me at all, the machine sounds amazing, little worried about it not being powerful enough but I'm mostly gonna use it cleaning around the garden so it should be good enough, I love the fact I won't need to mix oil, I have purchased the one on eBay and it comes in next week, only thing what fuel do you guys use, I've read that it recommends 95 but other sites have said anything over 91
4 stroke / 91 or 95 benzine ?
Are you asking what octane is required? If yes, 87 octane is sufficient for this engine.
Can you use synthetic oil in this trimmer??
Rogelio Torres yes, you certainly can.
Warm up for 1 minute or 60 seconds? Which one is it? Haha
Might as well add them up and warm it up for 1 minute and 60 seconds. :)
Yep your name says it all
why does the oil sump fill up with gasoline?
The oil sump should not fill up with gasoline, it's a separate tank. The gasoline should only reside in the plastic tank. Are asking because you are seeing gasoline in your oil sump? If you are, then your carburetor float may be stuck open and allowing fuel to flow into the engine when not running. If the float is not stuck open, then it's possible your piston cylinder rings and/or walls may be worn out and allowing gas to mix with the oil.
So basically the dip stick is not necessary to tell the amount just fill it up visually. Regards

Just put in what the specs say 0.08 litre and remember, if the oil level gets too low, ignition cuts out. LOW OIL: NO SPARK
Is it car oil or 4t (motorcycle) oil?
10w30 small engine oil. car oil isnt designed for air cooled small engines
A squeeze bottle does the same thing.
Jonny H yes, that's also a good idea.
Regular car oil IS NOT the same as small engine oil.
Pat Pikulski what’s different?
Yeah it is lol
@@ErikAsquith lighter weight,the car oil is thicker,2 cycle oil is thinner but i guess that trimmer can use regular motor oil
snoop furlow correct, this is a 4 cycle engine that has a traditional oil sump where the oil is separated from the fuel and they never mix.
i buy this for $490
Salma Ibrahim you had purchased the trimmer or VersaTool / VersAttach for $490?
Or just get a 2 stroke Stihl and never have to worry about it.
Yep you just have to add oil to the petrol every single time
@@dymo4791 or just buy 4l of fuel and add 80ml of oil lasts me a year.
real men don't need gloves like a sissy
Do you have any other helpful comments to share?

Stephen and his sissy gloves also take 6 minutes 42 seconds tipping out 2.7oz (1/4 coke can..80ml) of oil, and refill with 2.7oz (80ml) of oil. 6 minutes 20 seconds of that time was fitting his sissy gloves. At no time during this procedure, does real mens hand get dirty. I do this for a living and I have sexy girlie hands. Like a rub and tug, Stevo?
Look out, it's another upset sissy man.
Wow, check the un-requested, out of the blue, brag time resume' from Dave. Hey Dave, I'm a girl. Folks, roll out the dead Iraqi children's bones carpet for celebrity life taker Dave and his sissy gloves. Hey sissy Dave, you find those WMD in Iraq yet?
This is wrong...read manual, and use dipstick.
You are wrong....read the manual - it clearly states on page #9 under the 'Oil Fill Check' section to fill the oil to the oil fill hole (bottom edge).
Oil looked a bit full in this video - appeared halfway up the threads to me, not at the edge of the bottom thread. By the diagram on the side of the engine, half the dipstick should be submerged. Otherwise what would be the point of a dipstick? Might as well just have a plug.
