Description

Overview of the Stihl BG 86 C-E

• Power: The BG 86 C-E gas-powered blower, manufactured by Stihl, is rated for a max air volume of 444 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 190 MPH.
• Handling: It’s handheld, so naturally it’s easier to handle and carry than larger leaf blowers, such as backpack models or walk-behinds. At 9.9 lbs, the Stihl BG 86 C-E is within the average weight range of gas-powered handheld blowers.
• Engine: Its 2-MIX engine boasts a displacement of 27.2 cc. Being that this is a 2-stroke engine, it must be fuelled using a mix of gas and oil. The proper fuel ratio set by the manufacturer for the BG 86 C-E is 50:1.
• Speed Settings: For those who are keen on having complete control while operating their leaf blower, the BG 86 C-E offers variable speed settings.
• Noise: Its noise rating of 70 dB can be considered the standard for similar gas-powered handheld blowers.
• Fuel Tank: It has an average fuel capacity, with a tank able to hold around 14.9 fl. oz of fuel.
• Easy2Start™: The BG 86 C-E has the letter “E” in its name, which is Stihl’s indication that it benefits from Stihl’s proprietary Easy2Start™ (also called “ErgoStart”) technology. As the name suggests, this technology makes the starter mechanism more reliable thanks to an additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter rope. Upon pulling the starter rope, the engine will attempt to start regardless of how hard the rope was pulled – even a simple two-finger pull is sufficient to start it. Easy2Start™ allows the BG 86 C-E to be started with remarkably less effort than most other blowers.
