My craftsman just leaks oil out after use

The specs say 40:1 so 3 - 3 1/2 OZ of 2 cycle oil in a gallon of gas.

check the oil and see if its over full the carb might be leaking fuel into the crankcase

Hi cedt63...
50:1 mixture of oil to gas...
1 pint of oil to 6 gallons of gasoline.
Please take time to rate me

This condition indicates that the float and needle in the carburetor are stuck open. The only solution is to disassemble and clean the carburetor. Make sure that there is no fuel in your oil. If so, change the oil, remove the plug, turn engine several times to put oil back to where it needs to be (fuel acts as a thinner), replace plug and you should be ready to start.

Yes it needs oil. you have to mix the oil with the gas.you will need too buy some 2 cycle oil.Mix it at 32:1.that would be 4oz. of oil to 1gal.of gas.

50:1 50 parts petrol to 1 part oil

i think the mixture is 50:1 50 petrol and 1 oil

4 oz of a generic 2-cycle oil to a gallon of fuel is the typical mix.

I hope this helps.

ok buy the cheap gasit does not need the high price stuff 1 gallon of gas and 1 small bottle of two cycle oil. thats all you need

yes the throttle isnt giving enough gas. there should be two screws side by side somewere near the trigger next to the cable that moves when you pull the trigger. play around withthose screw a few hours youll get it.
