Can you say Solo??

This is one of a few saws that homelite bought from Solo to go with the 290 & 340....

seems like we all are taking some oldies out and shining em up. i've got a snow day.. maybe i'll peak at that mac.....

nice "crossover saw"

maybe i'll just go back to the milling section and tell them to reclaim outboard motors some more..

Model 54 Huh?

Thats a sleeper right there!




Looks like the "Moddarn" Homies enough that it would probably go for a song at auction.



Good score!

I rescued this one years ago from certain death at the hands of a firewood cutter. Still runs but I need to find the cast transfer port covers I saved...somewhere....this one has the flat steel port covers

Thanks PEST you just saved me alot of questions and looking. Mine came in the bunch i just dragged home with the MALL and the 175 Canadian, never had a chance to really look it over til yesterday. It runs but need's a carb kit, which i just installed. Will run'er-up later today hopefully. Nice old saw. Mine is missing the trigger locking lever but thats all its missing, the old guy said the treads to mount the carb were stripped but that was easily repaired with a tap & die set.

These models the 290 and the 340 same same as the 647 and 654 had a few bugs carby's coming loose and thereby leaking air into the intake tract i bought one at a swap meet for $20-00 bucks and it had a loose carby otherwise it's fine i just replaced the gasket and locktited the threads.

These were the first plastic bodied saws from Solo and not a bad saw light and with good power.

Cap missing

:bang:

How this world is getting smaller with AS

I have a homy 54 just like that, just a oil/gas cap missing (Long and stupid story :bang: ). Been looking everywhere to find it. Doesn't have the same threads than the others homelite (Now I see why)

So if anybody has one, please let me know.

Now for the long and stp.. story:

Dad was cutting firewood on the woodlot when he lost the gas-cap (Don't ask me how...) Anyway, he took the other cap with him to find the same one (easier to carry than the whole saw you see... After a while, the cap got thrown away with some garbages, naturally by mistake ... And guess what.. he found the other cap on his next trip to our lot. Still a good felling saw, as long as we keep it on the side.

That's what I would get if I did that. You should have used one of her new towels in the basket on the floor to cover the top of the washer...

Just a suggestion...then again, maybe not a good one...

BTW, I want $20 in small, unmarked bills, or the wife sees the pics....
