There normaly a 40-1 mix,,,i run mine in a 30-1 mix,, now i know your going to say "thats a bit ritch!" but my saw is 20 years old now? and i look at it this way,,,if you can see smoke you got oil?
if you run it on two stroke or engine oil you need to run it on the ritch side,,,so stick on 30-1
Thanks.... I have been on line for hours without getting anywhere and called Homelite but they are closed for the holiday.... since we borrowed the chainsaw from a widow who has no idea of how to use it we didn't want to seize the engine
well so long as the saw is not a very old one 30-1 should be ok, but on a very old saw you may may need to go down to 20-1 if the fule mix is to ritch for the saw the engine will hunt, the spark plug will get oiled up and you wont get full revs plus you get lot and lots of smoke out of it,,,,rember its a 2 stroke,,,it needs oil or it will seize up, so a bit of smoke is good?
mix your fule up in a small can first not in the saw's fule tank,,,dont forget to fill the chain oil tank with oil as well? 20/50 or a cheap engine oil will do in there,,be safe,
