I have a craftsman pole saw attachment #316.792460 the box said it would work on some homelite trimmers it fit just fine on my st-200 trimmer but the chain turns in reverse the homelite dealer said all homelite engine's turn the same what is wrong / what brands and model trimmer should this work on
SOURCE: fuel mix ratio for poulan counter vibe 3400 chain
Oil Mix Ratio: (last 5-10 years)
Dolmar, Echo, Efco, Homelite, Husqvarna, Jonsered, Makita, Oleo-Mac, Red Max, Ryobi, Shindaiwa, Solo, Spear & Jackson, Stihl & Tanaka; all recommend 50:1.
• 1 gallon of premium fuel to 2.6 ounces of quality 2-cycle oil.
• 4 liters of premium fuel to 80 milliliters of quality 2-cycle oil.
McCulloch, Poulan & Wen; recommend 40:1.
• 1 gallon of premium fuel to 3.2 ounces of quality 2-cycle oil.
• 4 liters of premium fuel to 100 milliliters of quality 2-cycle oil.
Chinese chainsaws recommend 25:1.
If me I would have the Poulan tweaked to run properly on 50:1 and use that in both. It will start easier and take much longer to carbon foul.
If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you. HTH & Good Luck.

Straight from Husky, the pole saw runs about $200...or if you have the straight shaft, you can get just the head for $185:

I know accessing the L and H mixture screws can be impossible. They sell the splined head screw carburetor tool on Ebay. I have removed and cut slots in the heads myself. I have used aluminum tubing to grasp those screw heads and also #22 automotive-type wired connectors with the plastic ends tapped over the heads of the screws. I do NOT suggest you remove them, as getting them back to their initial factory setting is near impossible.
