Spark is only 1/2 what it takes to make the saw run. As for the oil, the refinment of the oil is the issue basacally you can run any 2cycle oil in any machine as long as you mix it accoranly. In other words if you have 16:1 oil, mix it 16:1 if you have 50:1 oil, mix it 50:1. Your saw won't run good on 16:1 and will smoke more. Pouland are just cheap saws. Not long before Homelight went under, when they were owned by John Deere, they were engineered to run 10hrs. It would last 10 years if you started it up once a year and cut a little wood, like a deer hunter. Poulan is not much better. They are made for weekenders and home owners. Buy a good saw like Stihl or Huscavarna or Jonsred or even Dolmar.(Tip: even those saws are not great if you buy the cheap model.) After you buy it, ethier use the canned premixed fuel or high test non ethynol gas. Use 2cycle oil with fuel stabalizer in it. The old saying, You get what you pay for, still applies, if you are lucky.
