fuel mix? homelite super xl

[campazzada]

does anybody know what the ratio is for a homelite super xl ?? I've seen 16:1 , 32:1 . all my stihls and huskys are 50:1 Thanks

It can drink the same stuff you feed all of the rest of your saws. The oil today is much better.

Welcome to AS!

Ours runs on 50:1 like every other 2 cycle around here.

Many hobbies nailed it. No need for glopping rich oil mixes, to get the same or better protection from modern 2 cycle oils.

Stay safe!

I still run 32:1 in mine, even with the stihl or husq mix oils , and 92oct non-alky gas, alittle smoke don't hurt , but thats just me

50:1 w/ Stihl synthetic and haven't had an issue.

In fact, a little smoke do hurt. You might not notice it happening. That smoke contains some super-nasties. :eek2:

With good oil, your Homelite can indeed live just fine on the same fuel as your other saws. Much more important is making sure you haven't tuned it too lean. See my siggy.....

And you're also planting a ton of carbon on your piston top.

Just DON"T do it..!!

50:1 of any modern synthetic mix will do you fine..!!

LOL atleast you don't have to worry about the skeeters eat at you while running it.

But anyway i run 40:1 in mine when i had it before i sold it and it ran pretty good.

Nasties? don't use them in the house, better stay up wind, if you want saws to be green don't run them. I just run the ratio they called for in the day and keep them tuned right, there is a little smoke its just fine

People who just don't care about the environment and air pollution are a minority here. Think about it. You just might screw things up for the rest of us.

Just to be safe use 32/1

Mix ratios

To add my nickel. 50:1 but on older saws 40:1 to be on the safe side. jessez.deviantart.com/gallery/32983321

They use to use leaded fuel too which im sure makes a heck of a difference , ...
I run what they tell me ....mixing it rich wanna complain about a LIL chain saw smoke lol

If you feel strongly about pollution then i guess take the bus...
Dont eat cows or pigs ,, And so on and so on..

I Run em rich!

You have it about right if you get a little visible smoke when the engine is cold but disappears when it's warmed up.

 

[gmax]

If you have a mosquito problem I recommend 5:1
