What is the gas/oil mix for fuel for my homelite mighty lite 26vt gas trimmer?

Try a 50:1 mixture first if that is too rich,as in white smoke comes from the exhaust,then use a 30:1 mix.



Thank you for using Fix Ya.

I believe Homelite calls for 40:1 (2.6oz. oil to 1gal gas) mixture, but if you are using a good current brand name two cycle oil, 50:1 (3.2 oz. oil to 1 gal gas) would be safe also.

Your MightyLite trimmer requires a 50:1 fuel mix. Use a high quality 2 cycle oil that is made for lawn equipment. Do not use outboard boat oil...it will cause your trimmer to run too hot. If you use the mix that has fuel stabilizer in it, then the bottle will be 3.2 ounces. Use one 3.2 ounce per gallon of gasoline.
Good luck!

if you are using sthil oil the mix is 50:1

3 oz. 2 cycle oil to 1 gallon fresh fuel and
to keep your fuel fresh add some fuel stabilizer found at walmart for ethanol blended fuel ( it will say marine formula on bottle) and add it to the gas can you fill your trimmer with ,follow directions on bottle for treatment vs. capacity.

50:1 the little bottles make 1 gallon of mix gas

2 cycle? then 40:1 gas to oil mixture

Most trimmers are using a 50:1 mix. 2.6oz/gal or 6.4oz/2.5gal. A 4oz/Gal is a 32:1 mix which way too oily and you will have problems of excessive smoke, oil leaking out muffler, carbon buildup causing sticking piston ring or a clogged spark arrestor.

you have 1 of 3 things wrong
1 you have pluged jets
2 you have a pluged fuel filter
3 you have a stuck float
4 fuel line is crimped

1 2 3 4 thats all it can be
preasurise the fuel tank by blowing into it when almost empty
this will as times clear jets
if fuel line kinked un twist it
best bet buy a rebuild kit for the carb and enjoy some time with a screw driver

type in homelitest and ut number on the trimmer and then search google . maybe
