The Craftsman 23A chainsaw model requires a 40:1 gas to oil ratio. This means that for every 40 parts of gasoline, you should add 1 part of two-cycle oil. For example, if you are mixing 1 gallon of gasoline, you would need to add 3.2 ounces (or about 1/4 cup) of two-cycle oil.
Be sure to use a high-quality two-cycle oil that is specifically formulated for use in chainsaws. Avoid using automotive oil or other types of oil, as these can damage the chainsaw engine.
How to mix gas and oil for a Craftsman 23A chainsaw:
1. Start with a clean fuel container. Do not use a container that has been used to store other chemicals or solvents, as this could contaminate the fuel.
2. Add the required amount of two-cycle oil to the fuel container.
3. Slowly add gasoline to the fuel container, while stirring the mixture continuously. Be sure to avoid splashing the fuel.
4. Shake the fuel container vigorously for at least 30 seconds to thoroughly mix the gas and oil.
5. Your gas and oil mixture is now ready to use in your Craftsman 23A chainsaw.
