How Do You Troubleshoot A Homelite Chainsaw?
Making sure your Homelite chainsaw is operating properly can keep your home landscaping project going, as well as ensuring your safety. If something isn’t working properly on your Homelite chainsaw, try some basic troubleshooting tricks to see if you can fix the problem before contacting the manufacturer. Make sure your chainsaw has fuel. Homelite chainsaws require a mixture of gasoline and 2-cycle oil, mixed at a ratio of 50:1. For 1 gallon of gas, that means you should be mixing in 2.6 oz. of oil. Make sure your chainsaw is fully fueled before attempting other steps. Replace the spark plug. Remove the spark plug cylinder cover and remove the spark plug. Replace it with a fresh, properly gapped plug. The spark plug for a Homelite chainsaw should be gapped at 0.63 mm. Adjust the carburetor. If you chainsaw starts, but is running sluggishly, you can adjust the carburetor. Adjust the “L” and “H” needles on your chainsaw as needed until the engine is running smoothly. Clean the air filter
