First pour out all of the old mixture. Put in the right mixture. Pour an ounce or two of raw gas down the throat of the carb or inject it wit an eye dropper.(what ever works the best. The raw gasoline will run for a few seconds but will not hurt the engine. Let saw run for a while until the blue/white smoke clears. Running a saw on too much oil mixture is much better than running it on too lean as that is the way the piston is lubricated. The problem with too much oil is that the oil is sticky and clogs the exhaust ports of the 2 cycle engine, but running it on the correct mixture should correct that.

Need to know fuel mix for mcCulloch gladiator 550 petrol hedge trimmer

I don't know the age of this machine, but more and more of the newer units are using a 50:1 mix to satisfy the newest EPA emissions regulations. I suggest using a synthetic or synthetic blend of 2 stroke oil. ....the big box stores sell the oil...Echo one of the best. I would use synthetic and mix it 40:1. Here is a fuel mix chart to show you how many ounces of oil in a gallon of gas that is. If you make a 1/2 gallon batch of fuel mix, just use half of the listed oil amount for the mix.

40:1 is 3.2 ounces of oil in a gallon of gas...or 1.6 ounces of oil in a half-gallon of gas

I need to know the amount of oil to mix with one gallon of gas for 18 inch homelite chain saw

You need to mix 2.6 ounces of 2-cycle oil (NOT motor oil) with one gallon of fresh gas to get a 50 to 1 mixture. Most 2-cycle oil is sold in small bottles this size and have directions on them to get the correct mixture.

What is the gas mix parts oil to gas

Your manual says 40:1.
I gallon of premium fuel to 3.2 ounces of quality 2-cycle oil.

I gallon of premium fuel to 3 ounces of quality 2-cycle oil (.Oz/quart) is about 43:1.

Purchase the pre-measured 2.6 ounce 2-cycle containers sold at most chainsaw outlets.
I gallon of premium fuel to 2.6 ounces of quality 2-cycle oil is 50:1.
Once adjusted with this mix your saw will start easier, plugs, pistons, and mufflers will take considerably longer to carbon foul. HTH

you can use any type of two cycle fuel mix just make sure its for two cycles then mix 8 ounces of two cycle oil to 2 gallons of gas that will give 32 ratio which should run fine with that mix if its to rich it will smoke alot but I would rather have it alittle rich then to lean which is not enough oil to the and can seize up
