It stopped oiling the chain and putting air bubbles back in to the oil tank . the model 240 homelite UT-10621

The first thing is to clean the bar, oil ports, then the main port in the case, blockage is the main cause. When the bar area is clean,
Take a stright pin and try and clean out the port as much as you can,then if you have a shop vac that has a attachment that goes to a smaller end, such on the port and get any lose dust out.

If this does not work the pump could need to be rebuilt.

I have a 240 Homelite chainsaw and need to know what mixture to make the gas 50:1 40:1 what?

Fuel/Oil Mixture
  1. Use a quality 2 cycle oil and mix it to the OIL supplier's recommended ratio. Today I use Stihl 2 cycle oil mixed @ 50:1 in a Pioneer that I purchased new in 1980. There are no gouges or scratches on the piston or cylinder and I have no carbon build up on the piston top. The manual (on stone tablets) recommends 24:1. Over the years the mixture has leaned from 24:1 (Saw Recommendation) to 28:1 (Lawn boy mower recommendation) to 32:1 (Oil provider 8oz/2gal - used for many years) and finally the last 5 (±) years 50:1 (Stihl 2.6oz/1gal)
  2. Any fuel containing ethanol is not good with chainsaws. Mix what you expect to use within a few months. Anything over 3 months old use up in a 4 cycle engine. HTH

Fuel oil mixture

use a 32:1 mixture which is approx 4oz 2cycle oil to 1 gal of gas. you can also add an ounce or two of of a fuel sys cleaner to your fuel mixture for a good cleaning of the carb to remove any gum or varnish build up which could cause poor engine performance. hope this helps you
