How to Properly Mix Oil and Gasoline for a 2-Cycle Chainsaw

@loki1066 Sounds like the gasket on the piston..

There's also a new product we carry called TruFuel. It comes pre-mixed in 40:1 and 50-1 ratios, and is shelf-stable for up to 2 years after it's been opened! It's blended with synthetic oil and ethanol-free high octane fuel.

We like it a lot for chainsaws, leaf blowers, etc. We haven't tested it on a high performance engine yet- but warm weather is coming; we'll keep you posted!

The best advice is going to come from the folks who made your saw. If you click on the Customer Service button at the bottom of our web site, then click on Technical Support, you will see the phone numbers for all the brands we carry. Call the Tech Support number for your brand, and they'll be able to walk you through some basic troubleshooting. They can also let you know the closest repair shop, if it turns out the leak isn't a simple fix.

Hi,

My chainsaw won't start.

Gave it new plug, new fuel, turned it on it's side and the fule seems to be coming out near the muffler .

WHAT'S WRONG!

(THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE)

would this work for a 40:1 ratio pocket bike??

@youngkid1021 The technique for mixing will work just fine, but keep the 40 to 1 ratio for your pocket bike. Using the 50 to 1 mix shown here will impair your performance!
