SOURCE: I am looking for a homelite super 2 service manual
The factory manual states: Recommended First choice is Premium Homelite 32:1 Motor oil(SAE-40) in ratio 1 part oil to 32 parts gasoline (1/4 pint per U.S. gallon of gas or 3% oil)
Second Choice: Homelite 16:1(SAE-30) Motor oil or any motor oil for air-cooled 2-cycle engines in ratio of 1 part oil to 16 parts of gasoline (1/2 pint oil per U.S. gallon gasoline or 6% oil
The newer models are 50:1 yours is 32:1

I have that saw. The manual states if you are using Homelite 2 -cycle oil read and follow the instructions on the package. If you use other than Homelite oil use 16 parts gasoline to 1 part 2- cycle oil, 1 gal / 8oz
SOURCE: adjusting the idle jets on a homelite super 2
'L' is the idle jet screw and 'H' is the full throttle screw. Make sure the air cleaner is not clogged. Turn both screws CW to stops (lightly), then back out CCW 1-1/2 turns each. Start the engine and allow to warm up, then pull the throttle full on. Turn H CW until the engine starts to speed up, but still 4 stroking. Proper adjustment is when the engine 4-strokes unloaded, but immediately 2-strokes when cutting. Release the throttle and adjust L CW for fairly smooth running, yet allows the engine to 'follow the throttle'. Adjust idle speed screw so that the chain stops turning, but the engine keeps running. Hope this helps!
