I always added a small amount of diesel fuel. A lot of times I would be cutting firewood in the middle of the winter and this always worked well.
For your Makita chain saw, it is recommended to use bar and chain oil specifically designed for chainsaws. This type of oil helps to lubricate the chain and reduce friction during operation.
Most chain saws have a reservoir that you fill with the bar/chain oil before you start. Check the level every 20-30 minutes while you are working, if you are using the saw constantly. The reservoir must have oil in it at all times while the saw is being used.
No.
The fuel mixture for a Stihl chain saw is gas and oil.
Yes
When selecting chain saw oil, it's best to use bar and chain oil specifically designed for chain saws, as it provides the right viscosity and adhesive properties for optimal lubrication. These oils help reduce friction and wear on the chain and bar while preventing the oil from being flung off during operation. Avoid using motor oil or other alternatives, as they may not adhere properly and can lead to damage over time. Always check your chain saw's manual for specific recommendations on oil type.
It's 40/1.
most two stroke engines need a 2% mix but you should look at the manufacturer recomondation.
In all Craftsman chain saws going back to at least 1990, the oil/gas ratio is 40/1.
1 oil to 40 gas.
Most Husqvarna's are 40/1.
DG makes a good chain lube . If you want to save money get some chain saw bar and chain oil .it has a cling agent in it which makes it stick to the chain . Dump some in a can and use a old paint brush and paint it on the chain .
