To Lucky:
Hi Lucky. The Homelite, C-5, I recieved from sedanman, just needed a little TLC. It arrived, and I disassembled it enough to clean it up and check it for spark, there was no spark. I pulled the flywheel cleaned the points and checked out the coil and condencer with my ohm meter. The secondary winding, was open, at the sparkplug boot connector and the end 4" of the wire was rotted. I repaired the wire and it had a great spark and I then removed the spark plug and flushed some oil through the carb and into the crankcase and let her sit for a couple days while I cleaned the rest of the saw. I finally assembled the saw, added some 16/1 mix to her and started her. She smoked like crazy for the first few minutes, but cleared and ran pretty well. I adjusted the carb so that she 4 cycled or blubbered at WOT and set the idle speed and mixture screws. I then again disassembled the saw, gave it a good cleaning, primed the saw and painted her. She now is sitting in my collection. I have pictures I took on 35mm film, but will have to develope, scan and put on my puter to post them. The saw is a bit heavy, definately loud, but fun to start and run. I didn't have to replace any carb parts or seals. The saw starts, runs and idles just fine. Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, but haven't been on this puter much lately, been doing my yard and garden work. I also have been working on making new diaphragms for the old fuel meter for my old Disston, DO-101, chainsaw. If you have any more questions, please feel free to email me. Lewis.
