I don't have a maual with my chain saw. What is the correct way to mix gasoline prior to using in chain saw?
The ratio is 40:1, provided this is a gasoline homelite chainsaw. Find the suitable amount to put into the gas can at a ratio of 3.2 oz per gallon. The bottles that you buy the oil in have marks on them telling you how much there is, and often times, are sized to dump into a preset amount of gas. Put the oil in the can, then put the gas in the can, cap, and shake. Always shake before dispensing.
Testimonial: "Great advice, thanks for the info."
This is way too much for that saw. the ratio is 1 part oil to 40 parts of gas for a homelite chainsaw. The lower quality saw brands use this ratio. Ones like stihl use 1:50 even. It allows the engine to still run, while the oil stays behind to lubricate. You'll find that you saw will either not run, or have very little power, while smoking out the whole neighborhood if you're using 1:5. There are actually really helpful calculators out there free for use on the internet that tell you exactly how much you need for a certain amount of fuel.

Thanks, 3 others stated a 40/1 ratio which is standard for weed eaters, etc.
