Do Oregon chains fit Homelite?
Yes, many Oregon replacement chains fit Homelite saws, including the Homelite UT10926, as long as the chain matches your bar and sprocket specs (pitch, gauge, and drive link count). We recommend matching those measurements first, then selecting a chain built to the same specs.
What you must match (not just the brand)
To get the right fit and safe cutting performance, match these items exactly:
- Bar length (the cutting length your saw is set up for)
- Pitch (must match the drive sprocket and bar)
- Gauge (must match the bar groove width)
- Drive link count (must match the bar length and pitch)
- Chain type (standard, low-kickback, full chisel, etc.)
Quick fit check you can do on the saw
If you do not have the original packaging, use these practical checks:
- Look for pitch and gauge markings stamped on the guide bar (common location: near the mounting slot)
- Count drive links by counting each link that rides in the bar groove
- Confirm the chain sits fully in the bar groove and the cutters face forward on the top run
- Tension the chain; it should pull around smoothly by hand (with the engine off)
Why it matters
A chain that is the wrong pitch or gauge can bind, derail, wear the bar and sprocket quickly, and create unsafe kickback conditions. Matching the specs keeps cutting smooth and protects the clutch and bar.
Parts on this UT10926 page that can help during a chain swap
While the chain itself is not listed in the parts shown here, these related items are commonly used during service:
| What it helps with | Part on this page | When you would use it |
|---|---|---|
| Basic tune-up before blaming the chain | Spark plug 870174002 | Hard starting, weak power, misfire |
| Fuel delivery issues that feel like “no power” | Fuel line 0745416 | Cracking, leaking, air in fuel line |
| Starting system service | Start kit UP06749A | Rope not retracting, starter slipping |

What is the fuel mix for a 2-stroke chainsaw?
For the Homelite UT10926 gas chainsaw, use the fuel-to-oil ratio specified for your exact saw; most homeowner 2-stroke chainsaws run 50:1 with air-cooled 2-cycle oil mixed into fresh gasoline. Mix in an approved fuel can, then fill the tank.
Use the correct ratio first
We set the mix ratio based on the manufacturer specification for the model and engine family. Using the wrong ratio can cause hard starting, plug fouling, or internal engine damage.
- Use fresh unleaded gasoline (stale fuel causes rough running)
- Use air-cooled 2-cycle oil (not marine 2-cycle oil)
- Measure accurately; do not “eyeball” the oil
- Mix in a fuel can; do not mix directly in the chainsaw tank
- Make only what you will use within 30 days
Quick mixing chart (common ratios)
| Gasoline amount | 50:1 oil | 40:1 oil | 32:1 oil |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 gallon | 2.6 oz | 3.2 oz | 4.0 oz |
| 2 gallons | 5.1 oz | 6.4 oz | 8.0 oz |
| 1 liter | 20 ml | 25 ml | 31 ml |
Best-practice mixing steps
- Add about half the gas to the can.
- Add the measured 2-cycle oil.
- Add the remaining gas, cap, and shake to blend.
- Label the can with the ratio and date.
Why it matters
Correct mix ratio lubricates the piston, cylinder, and crank bearings. Too little oil scores the cylinder; too much oil increases smoke and can foul the plug.
If it starts running poorly after fueling
- Check and replace a fouled plug with spark plug 870174002
- Inspect for cracks or loose connections and replace the fuel line 0745416
- If it still runs rough, follow tips for a hard to start chainsaw

What model number is the Homelite UT10926 chainsaw?
The model number for this Homelite gas chainsaw is UT10926. You will typically find UT10926 on the model tag near the starter housing, rear handle area, or on the saw body close to the fuel tank; match that tag to the parts list to ensure correct fit.
Where to find the model number on a UT10926 chainsaw
Check these common locations on Homelite chainsaws:
- On a sticker or plate near the recoil starter (pull-start) housing
- On the rear handle or handle frame area
- Near the fuel tank or oil tank area
- On the crankcase or chassis label (sometimes partially covered by grime)
- In the area where the bar mounts (less common)
How to confirm you are reading the right number
Chainsaws often show multiple identifiers. Use the model number for parts matching.
| What you see on the tag | What it means | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| UT10926 | Model number | Ordering the correct parts |
| Serial number | Unique unit ID | Service history, identification |
| Engine size (cc) | Displacement | General reference only |
Why it matters
Homelite chainsaw parts can vary by model and production run. Using UT10926 helps us match the correct ignition, carburetor, fuel line routing, and hardware so you do not end up with a part that looks right but will not install correctly.
