Here in the Yukon… We run all our saw’s at a 48/50 to one ratio…You should be safe with that…Run a little heavier in summer……Look on the 2 stroke oil btl…Those reccomended, are a safe bet…Yuke…
25 parts of gas to 1 part of 2-stroke oil
There should be a decal or indication on the saw telling what the oil to gas ratio is. Usually it is 1/3 pint of oil per gallon of gasoline.
I have tools that call for 32:1 I have other tools that call for 40 :1. I use the same mix for both, after four years no problems.
all the chainsaws i’ve seen have a seperate place for oil
It depends on model + age, In general old 2 cycle machines were 32:1 (more oily) and newer models are 50:1 (less oil, environmentally friendly.) I would look up the model on line, if you have problems finding poulan I think they are still owned by electolux ( yeh the vaccume people!) and are connected with weed eater but companies change owners often.
In a nut shell to much oil at worse will foul the plug and carburator that will require a good cleaning and to little oil will give you a permanent paper weight!
Good luck,
have 3 poulan saws 16-1 on all of them. 32-1 might work but would not go higher if you want to keep yours from blowing engine
All poulan/weedeater brand engines….. use a 40:1 mixture (3.2 ounces of oil, per one gallon of gas)
I’d recommend a synthetic 2 cycle oil with a stabilizer….. (or use poulans brand, either regular or synthetic comes with a stabilizer)
Now using amsoil at 80:1 in my poulan saws. Engines run better with far more power.No signs of failure,at least for now.thank you
When you see a separate tank for oil, that is for the bar and chain lubrication, which should be filled up with “bar oil”. You still need to mix gas with 2 stroke oil at a ratio around 40 to 1, depending on the model.
