    40:1 would be a safe bet. Use regular gas, not premium – it just costs more and really does nothing for the performance of a chainsaw. Also, don’t waste your money on adding a little stabilizer – it also does nothing for performance. Use stabilizer only when you plan to store the chainsaw for a few months. Or, when storing, just drain the fuel tank, run the chainsaw until it runs out of fuel, pull the starter a few times and put it in storage and save yourself the expense of stabilizer entirely!

    Almost all are either 40 or 50 to one. If you don’t know, use 45 to one, it will not hurt anything.

    I can’t say specifically for Homelite. Most of my stuff is Stihl or Echo. I use a 2 gallon gas can and use the second grade of gasoline (super–higher octane than the 1st pump). I’ve been using the Echo "Premium 2-stroke Engine Oil with Fuel Stabilizer," the 5.2 Fl. Oz. to the 2 gallons of gas. If the darn thing won’t start, take off the air cleaner and replace it or dry it off well with a paper towel and put it back in. Good luck and may the force be with you, Plus, I’ve started adding a little bit of fuel stabilizer to my gas powered stuff. They seem to start better and run stronger. I call it jet fuel. Oh well.
