I just bought this generator how do you mix the oil and gasoline together? how much oil to mix

I mix 13 ounces of 2-cycle oil to 5 gallons of gasoline. I use regular octane fuel (the cheapest available). Here's some more information to insure the generator performs as long as possible for you. 1) Always start the generator with the choke on. The rich fuel mixture will keep it from back-firing (which will wear or break the starter dog in the pull rope assembly). Take off the choke after it starts. Use the choke to start it even if it is warmed up. Rule of thumb, never pull the starter rope without the choke being on. 2) When you shut off the generator, shut it down by shutting off the fuel supply. Let the generator burn the last of the fuel out of the carburetor bowl. This will keep the carburetor from lacquering inside (which would eventually clog the carburetor). I run these all the time as I am off grid (I'm using one right now). I have over 3,000 hours on one of them and it is still perfectly functional. These are great generators.

Number one you need high octane fuel. The oil measure cup is in gas tank when you remove the fuel cap. The oil cup has screen in and will hold oil just long enough before drop it in for your mixture. Recommend use of proper gloves or perhaps needle nose pliers. Mixture may irritate you hands. Good light

Add the oil into a gas can first, then add the gas. The ratio is in the owner's manual, it's probably 15:1. Look on the can to see how many cans to a gallon for that ratio. Any 2 cycle oil will work.

You will need to add 4 cycle oil to the engine itself. You will not use a gas oil mix like a 2 cycle engine. I hope this helps.

Should be just fine with an oil injection pump. There is no ratio to worry about since your not pre-mixing it with gasoline.

The blower takes regular (87 octane) gasoline (ethanol is OK) and 2 cycle oil. Instructions for mixing the oil/gas are included with the blower.

I broke my generator in on straight 30 weight detergent oil for 10 hours. Then I put in 10W30 AMS Oil synthetic small engine oil. I am sure any good quality 10W30 oil would do. See page 13 of your owner's manual.

Yes. Use 1 gal premium gasoline and mix with 2cycle oil. You can find this oil at hardware stores, home depot etc and the amount of the 2 cycle to mix with 1 gal gasoline is on the cans of 2 cycle oil.

Just a straight 30W oil. Usually marked SAE 30. You do not mix the gas and oil.

I just follow the maintenance instructions in the manual that came with the generator. Change the oil as recommended, keep the air filter clean, and clean or replace the spark plug according to the maintenance schedule.

Yes, must mix oil and gas and use a 50 to 1 ratio. 2.6 oz container of oil (you can buy Husqvarna oil in this size) to 1 gallon gas. The manufacturer recommends using at least a 89 octane gasoline. By the way, it is a great machine, starts easy, runs smooth and Husqvarna trimming line seems to be a step above the typical nylon line.

If I remember correctly the instructions states to always add 2cyle oil with the gas during use.

I think when you mix oil with gasoline it's a 2 cycle engine--- if so, that is what this is.

Engine. Funnel, and gas mixer. Don't use 10w 40 like they say works better with 2 cycle synthetic.

ditto to both answers. I only did a one gal generator gas tank. so it took about 1/3 of the quart. prep important and acetone all I used with the nuts and bolt shake. let it dry overnight and let it dry days before use. It worked great.

The generator listed #56352 is a gas unit. No oil mixing with gas.It runs on regular.

You use just regular gas, don't forget to fill it with oil before starting. And don't overfill the oil, its worse than under filled. Use 30 wt oil, any brand!

Absolutely use the oil gas mix. failure may destroy your engine I use 91 octane

Although I bought this item for filling a Honda EU2000i generator, according to Wikipedia, the B&S 12.5 takes about 40 ounces of oil. DPM, Albuquerque
