This Post is about your 2-Stroke engine on your Chainsaw most people already know the basics but just some information. we’ve only talked about working with bar and chain oil, but there is something else you have to take seriously too. If you own a chainsaw with a 2-stroke engine it’s absolutely imperative you absorb this information. First of all, you should know in a 4-stroke engine the lubrication system works separately and you can fill it with gas without any worries. On a 2-stroke engine if you don’t mix oil in with the gas your engine won’t get lubricated. It will be destroyed within minutes, so it’s crucial you combine your chainsaw oil with gas before it’s poured into your machine. You’ll have to read your instruction manual to find out the exact ratio to use, but to give you a quick example it will usually be around one gallon of gas for every 2.6 ounces of 2-stroke engine oil. There are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind when you’re taking care of this, so we’ll look at things you must not do:When you’re given a ratio for the amount of oil and gas you have to use in your fuel mixture, it’s far too easy to think you can mix up a formula based loosely on the exact numbers you’ve been given. The numbers themselves are actually very important, so if you don’t stick to them your chainsaw engine will have problems. I know we’ve not talked about it today, but you also have to use the correct gas with your chainsaw oil to avoid unnecessary issues. Have a nice day... Stumper
Some of us need to remember that some people joining the site know nothing about chainsaws and the care for them; and are joining this site for some guidance on the usage and proper care of their equipment and proper techniques on how to use them safety! Good post Stumper !

Very true, some have ran them for years, always learning something new or confirming similar experiences. Older I get the more I realize I don’t know. Knowledge is power.
