What is the fuel mix required for Homelite HB leaf blower?

50:1 is a common ratio

Pirelli an amazing walk on Christ The Redeemer

HB 180v home light mix at 32 to1

read it on the oil can, bottle, put 1 gal gas in first a marked clean gas can, and ad oil last watch the gas pump not the can, and stop at what amount of gas you need get 100 percent gas in all your trimmers ,blowers! // if the can you are going to use only has a small amount pour it out it might have water in it and that's another story. Rideau Canal Oil Gas Fuel Mix Tables and watch this neat video Christ The Redeemer!

This appears to be an older model, which means more oil was allowed to be mixed with the fuel and the carburetors were tuned accordingly. The EPA has changed all that now. Your mix ratio is listed at 32:1. See the simple chart.

Yours is not a current model and I did not find a manual. The following is an excerpt from a 26cc MightyLite Blower/Vac UT08550/UT08951 "Operator's Manual":
This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and requires pre-mixing gasoline and 2-cycle lubricant. Pre-mix unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle engine lubricant in a clean 1 gallon container approved for gasoline.
Recommended fuel: This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline intended for automotive use.
Mix Homelite Premium Exact Mix lubricant with gasoline according to the instructions on the package. If Premium Exact Mix lubricant is not available, use a high quality synthetic 2-cycle engine lubricant, mixed at 2.6 oz. per gallon (US).
Do not use automotive lubricant or 2-cycle outboard lubricant.
NOTE: Premium Exact Mix fuel mix will stay fresh up to 30 days. DO NOT mix quantities larger than usable in a 30 day period.
PREMIUM EXACT MIX (50:1)
GasolineLubricant
1 gallon (US) 2.6 oz.
1 Liter 20 cc (20 ml)

1 quart fuel:3/4 ounces of oil = 1 Gallon fuel:3 ounces of oil or slightly less than 43:1. Not what a current manual recommends.
If properly adjusted your blower will operate fine on 50:1 regardless of what the manual reads. HTH

40:1 is the ratio. One of those little 2-cycle oil bottles poured into one gallon of gas will give you this ratio.

if its flooded then it surly wont fire,not a 2-stroke. are you over priming or is there a malfunction. remove plug,put plug not a tester in the end of lead,ground, and pull. spark should be purple and consistent. if red/yellow/intermitent. change he plug. if the engine is only flodding on its own then the needle and seat could be stuck open in the carb, gas tank vent in fuel cap plugged and building tank pressure, or fuel mixed too rich. let me know what you find

Hi
If you remove the fuel you believe to be the mixture out of the fuel tank and refuel with the correct mixture then remove the air filter. Put a few drops of the correct mixture in to the intake it should start. it may take a few times of repetting putting the fuel in to the intake, but eventually it will clean out the bad fuel and run good.Remember to replace the air filter!

50:1 with premium oil i.e. Echo, Stihl, Husqvarna.
40:1 with Homelite or generic brands

normaly 20 to 1
but with some of the newer oils you need to follow the instructions on the the oil bottle the newer cleaner fuels are now mixed at 50 to 1
