Homelite 330 Twin Rebuild Project

[Modifiedmark]

Isaiah, if your old impulse lines are good, thats a better idea then useing the Tygon lines anyway. The Tygon is too flexable under pulse and pressure and it dont hold up well under high heat but where the carb and oiler lines are on a 330 its not as bad for it.

I say to use a good rubber line on them and if I remember right I used a automotive vacumme line on the large oiler impusle line.

Those oilers are not that good on the 330's anyway so you sure dont want any trouble out of the impulse line on them.

Good work so far!

Looking good, Issaiah. Sabotage Dads saw yet?

He probably doesn't need you to. :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

Seems that way sometimes...

You learn so much more that way.

Just stripped the threads on the little screw hole that holds my metering lever in

What carb is that?

Doh! way to go. :bang:

I think he was using the ZAMA but I dont remember the number of it.

 

[briantutt]

Carb

Yep, It's a ZAMA C-1S-H3

IPL says walbro WT-4 also works.

:bang:

Well, I thought that's where JB Weld, a drill, and a tap comes in.

Replace the carb. I will check it out, see what is laying around.

Thank you, the carb I have is a second one that Mark sent me because the original one is completely screwed up. I am going to try to tap the hole out to 6-32 and see if it works with a new screw but my hopes aren't too high.

A great thread, thanks for posting all the pics!!!!!

A fine thing seeing a father and son working together on saws.

You have nothing to lose by trying. It's already broke, right? Why not try to fix it then, it makes use of the part and if it doesn't work, you get a new part. If it does work, well, you saved time and money.

Come up with nothing along those lines today, Brian. The tap to next size thing is a good option, don't drill to deep, and if you could find a self tapping bolt, or a bottoming tap, that would work great.

I'm thinking any WT may work, you'd have to change out the shafts to get your linkage to meet up and use your cover plates. Thats a theory yet to be proven by me, though I have changed things around before, I don't remember checking to see if the carb was the same series, so maybe I just lucked out or modified the linkage to fit.

I have a carb from a 330 floating around here somewhere. If you need it just let me know.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that but thanks for the heads up if it does.

It's great to have a friend who is a machinist. He put a drill bit in the bad hole, just small enough to get all the way down. Then he chucked it up in the drill chuck on the Bridgeport. By adjusting the vise and rotating we realized if you clamp on the ends of the throttle shaft it was exactly the right goofy angle. He locked it down and about 2 minutes later it now has nice 6-32 threaded hole where the stripped hole used to be.

I then went to Fastenal to see about having the goofy 1/4 inch long oval machine screw I now need. The guy noticed the company name on my sweatshirt and says "oh you work there? We will just give 10 of them to you, they will be here on Friday"

Brian that all sounds real good.

I have a question though. I have to go to Fastenal Friday, can I borrow your sweatshirt? :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[BeaverBandit012]

This is a picture of something subtle that you might not have been able to see (unless your a GENIUS):hmm3grin2orange: HA. Its a picture of how the top handles are at an angle that fits the saw but we mixed them up on accident (briantutt did) hehe. Notice the angle of the casting how one leans forward and one leans back.

Sure, I will get right on that! :hmm3grin2orange:
