My 1966 Homelite XL 'Blue Saw' likes 32:1, my Stihl blower and brush wacker want 50:1. I have been feeding the Stihl's the XL mix (32:1 with Homelite Oil, I had a case of the stuff) for about ten years. The Stihls are perfectly happy--I have never had to troubleshoot either one. Just change plugs in even years and keep air filters clean, period.
The XL is a little cantankerous, but I think it's the modern Homelite ignition and carb parts that have lost quality like everything else they make. I had a Homelite weedwacker that was a POS from Day 1 and I just ended up dumpstering it. That's why I switched to Stihl. I still love my '66 XL saw--no stinkin'muffler! ROARRRRR!! No stinkin' safety interlocks, either.
