So i had one of my dad's buddies call me as he knows i love saws and tells me he has a new saw for me, he tells me he was cutting palms in his yard and half way through a cut she just locked up solid, i told him to drop it off at my dads place and i'll collect it when i get a chance.
So today i picked it up and she was solid, the chain was locked up and the starter was locked. I had a bit of a think of what it could be on the drive home, at first i thought maybe he's fried the p&c or maybe the clutch has let go as the chain was locked up also. I started to inspect the saw and the pics will you tell you what i found
As you can see this screw shouldn't be here
This is where the screw goes.
And i found this also, shame on you homelite for your bad wiring no insulation just bare wiring ready to short out.
1/2 hours work and she was cleaned and running great after a much needed tune up.
