This small engine needs a 40:1 ratio. Use only 2 cycle oil, not motor oil. If you are mixing one gallon of fuel use 3.2 ounces of the 2 cycle oil. This should give correct mixture so you do not get lots of smoke when you start. Take the time to measure. Note: there should be a marking somewhere on the engine about the mixture.
The gas oil ratio on all Poulan models is 40:1.
First, I recommend a synthetic oil mix if you can find it and also recommend running a 93 octane gasoline.
Second, I would mix no more than 1 gallon at a time, unless you are doing a lot of cutting.
Gas/Oil mixtures do not last that long. I don't give them more than a month, and generally try to run any mixture within 2 weeks.
Think about it, gas cam gum up on it's own when let sitting for too long. Imagine what it can do with oil mixed in it.
Good luck with your saw, and be careful when cutting.
You may contact the manufacturer, download manuals, check fuel/oil ratios, order parts, find your local service center, and view other resources using these links:
hello sir, the gas / oil ratio is, 3/4 o/z per quart or 2.6 o/z per gallon of two cycle oil, any two cycle oil will do,this is how i mix mine and never had a problem,it is a good mix.hope this helps,don't forget the 4 thumbs up,any comments welcome,thank you. ~~
There is universal 2 cycle oil available (pro-mix at Lowe's for example) that is good for all ratios from 16:1 to 50:1. With this oil you add the same amount of oil to the gas independent of ratio required. One gas can, no ratio worries. Hope this helps.
