2.8 oz per gallon will get you very close to a 50/1 ratio. 3.6 oz per gallon will get close to 40/1

Hi, adjust the idle screw inwards, regards Phil.

Hi classic11369...

Remove the old fuel line and filter from the tank...
You will insert a wire a little smaller than the diameter of the inside of the fuel line, and you will bend a small hook on the end of the line to fit over the fuel line (be sure to use a small wire) .
Lubricate the first 1 inch of fuel line with vasoline lightly...using your fingers or neednose pliers collapse the fuel line and insert it into the fuel tank, entend the fuel line long enought to go out of the fuel tank so you can reconnect the fuel filter...then pull some of the fuel line back into the fuel tank...
Please take time to rate me thumbs up

Have you been putting oil in the lube tank? If you have, and have been making sure it's using it, then the chain has a bent guide, or the guide in the bar has been bent, or the chain is too tight. They're pretty simple machines. The possibilities are fairly limited.

Hi this is what I would do. 1.buy a shim pack at any hard ware store (wooden wedges) cheap. 2.take one side of bottom hinge off,frame. 3.shut the door and use shims end to end like this >< Where needed to fit door,some on bottem ,one set on knob side and anoughter set on hinge side.At any rate where ever they are needed to leval the door in the frame. 4.buy some wooden dowels to plug frame holes,might have to drill screw holes larger for dowles.Drive dowels in and break them off. 5.swing bottem hinge in to place and screw hinge down.This should work and you may need a wood chissle or flat screw driver for modifacation where hinges seat.You may have to reseat both hinges or put shim stock behind the frame hinges to line up every thing.I hope something here will help and please feel free to ask any questions that you have and add any thing that will help me see this clearer.You will need a person on both sides of the door to drive the shims togeather to keep the door level.

First you should get a new spark plug which might solve the problem. If it still won't start what I normally do with chainsaws, lawnmowers etc is to remove the spark plug and pour about 5ml (one teaspoonful) of fuel into the opening. Dip the spark end of the plug into fuel so the spark gap is wet and replace the plug in the saw. Try starting it now. The fuel you poured in should ignite and may be enough to start the saw. You may have to repeat the process 2 to 3 times. Don't be tempted to use more than 5 ml of fuel or you'll flood the saw.

I hope this solves your problem.

There is only one reason for excessive smoke from the exhaust, and that is because it is burning oil, and the oil can only come from the petrol ,so you need to refill the fuel tank with a fresh fuel/oil mix good quaility oil at 50-1 and try again. Is it possible you may have put chain oil with the fuel, or put it in the fuel tank rather than the oil tank?

Take the primer bulb off.Look on the back side of it.Most will say tank and carb.If not try putting them on if the bulb doesen't get gas in it.Change them around.

HI,
Use a stiff piece of wire and form a hook on one end and use it to fish the filter that is on the end of a tube in the gas tank.Buy a new one and you should be back in business.Hope this helps and thank you for choosing FixYa.com.

Sounds like the chaibrake is on, pull the hand guard fully back to the top handle until the brake clicks off, now try again.

Hi larsgordy,

To unplug your oiler, first remove the chain brake cover, bar and chain. Then clean thoroughly aroundthe inside. Clean the saw oil hole and groove and all holes and passages on the bar. Run the saw and see if that did it.

If not, then make a slender hook that isn't sharp and put it in the oil filler hole and grab the oil line and pull it out. clean it and check it for holes or cracks. If damaged you'll have to replace it. Continue through the passages, cleaning and checking for damages.
Here is a diagram from erplacement parts that shows you the breakdown of your saw: http://www.ereplacementparts.com/homelite-ranger-ut10926-33cc-1634-chain-saw-parts-c-18807_21362_37313.html

If you still have trouble after reassembly, then you'll probably have to replace the oil pump. It is located behind the clutch usually. You can locate it on the diagrams if need be.

I hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate your vote. Thanks,

Make sure you have control set on run,not choke or start. Check spark aresstor by removing exhaust cover and cleaning screen of carbon and oil build up with spray carburater cleaner and fine wire brush.Also remove gas cap and make sure that vent hole in cap is open.Otherwise it can draw a vacumn after being ran for awile and be very hard to start.One last thing is make sure that spark plug gap is correct and that there are no hairline cracks in porcelin insulation. Best of luck. Thank you.

There will be three screws on the side of the carb, one marked L one marked H and one marked I or T, the last two are the idle speed screw, it simply works against the throttle shaft, if you remove the aifilter cover you should be able to see what happens when you turn this screw.

Any brand of two cycle engine oil will work.

Allot of times this is caused by dirt plugging up the outlet. Pull the side cover that holds the bar on and clean using carb cleaner and compressed air. You should see a small metal tube or hole where the chain runs at the top, make sure it is clear. If you remove the cain and the bar you can start and rev the saw to make sure oil is weeping, it won't squirt out.

They unscrew counter clockwise.You can use a punch and hammer to knock it loose.

The engine needs to be accelerated to make the chain turn. The chain should not be so tight on the bar that you can't turn it by hand. Make sure the chain brake is off by pulling back on the brake paddle which has a 'toggle' effect--it should snap over to the new position. If still having problems, it is time to return for warranty exchange or repair. Hope this helps!

If you note that the engage bar is loose probably there is a malfunction of the engage mechanism.In order to verify you need to disassemble the saw to look for any fail part inside it.To illustrate you look at this link ->Try at eReplacementParts.com : Power Tool Parts and Tool Repair Diagrams.

I can confirmed that your model is in the site but it can give a good idea how to do the job.
