Homelite C-51 and Super Wiz Advice Needed.

[Den]

I finally got around to firing up my C-51 Bow Saw and Super Wiz. I'm getting ready to sell or trade them both and I want to get them set up to perfection. Needed some advice if anyone knows the answers to the following questions.

1) Mine is the first model Super Wiz, made from 1962 through 1965. It does not have a number designation such as 55, 66, 77, 80. Mine is blue and just says "Super Wiz" everywhere on it. According to Mike Acres site, it has a TillotsonHL-104A carburetor on it. Question: What should my "H" and "L" carb screws typically be set at on this saw/carb?

2) The local Homelite dealer was baffled by the fact that my Super Wiz does not have the 55, 66, 77, or 80 designation, and was unable to look up the air filter. Where can I find the cylindrical pleated air filter for this Super Wiz?

3) Can the air filter on the C-51 be washed gently in soapy water just like the McCulloch's, or will it simply disintegrate if I attempt to wash it?

4) On those same lines, where can I find a new air filter for the C-51?


I may not reply in a timely manner... family member has been in the hospital recently. I'm spending a lot of time with them.

Thanks, Den.

According to the 1968 second edition Homelite Chain Saw Shop Service Manual, both needles on the Tillotson HL-104A should be set to 1/2 to 3/4 turns open.
The Tillotson HL service manual recommends 1 and 1/4 turn open for the high speed needle and 3/4 turn open for the idle needle.
I don't know if the C-51 air filter can be washed, but here is where you can get a new one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Homelite-A...769611?hash=item3fa7991ecb:g:0mUAAOSwaM1baKyW
There are two part numbers for the C-51 air filters, A-69306 from the 1974 parts manual, and 63728 from the 1970 parts manual. Part number A-69306 is available on eBay, 63728 is not.

I'm going to contact Leon for the Super Wiz air filter. Can't seem to find anything online for it, I'm guessing all model Super Wiz have the same air filter.

Wish i could help. I used a 77 super wiz about 20 years ago. Man you were so happy to get it into wood where the weight went away. Very cool saw.
