Homelite Chainsaws

[Wildman1024]

If you want to convert to the tilly you need a different intake but they are plentiful. I think the throttle linkage is the same but you need a different choke lever.

I would be interested in your sdc setup. I always wanted to try one out. I do have a tilly intake here you could have.

The last of the C91's had the single reed, I believe as a way to make a bigger 'gap' between the outgoing C91 (there was no C92) and the "new, X-tra Power" (XP)1000 saw.

I've questioned this myself, and ya know, you may have hit the nail on the head. Best explanation I've heard.

My dad believed the big saw was safer to learn with because it wouldn't kick back so bad. As I've grown up and worked on my own, I've learned that my dad didn't always know what he was talking about. My youngest brother laid open his knee with a Stihl 041 when he was learning to saw as a 12 year old. We switched from Homelites to Stihls in about 1976-77. I wish I still had some of those early 70's homelites and mid-70's Stihls.

You can hurt yourself with any of them..

even the old and slow can give a nasty kick back and no break either

I know that now, but at 12 years old, I believed what I was told. I think my dad changed his mind about kickback when he had to explain to my mom why one of her kids spent a few days in the hospital recovering from a chainsaw wound to the knee.

If that happened to me at that age my mom would have beat my but in then my dad would make me finish the cut

Maybe my logic is off, but with a big saw you are probably wary as a cat from the start and will exercise more caution, but with a smaller saw you don't necessarily realize that you still have a bull by the horns.

My C-91 has a single reed also. Up till I read this thread, I thought I had gotten hosed.:censored: Still, I bought the saw for the bar. The powerhead was mainly a bonus.

Did you buy that C91 from a fellow named Robert? Did it come with a NOS Homelite hardnose bar? I hope that's not the C91 I was negotiating for. We've been communicating on and off for over 2 years LOL.............so I wouldn't hold it against him if he sold it to somebody else. Guess I better contact him and seal the deal (if you didn't get it already).


The change in intake manifold style occured at S#1854404. S#1854403 and lower # C91 and C9 saws have the pyramid reed setup. S#1854404 and later have the C5-C72 single reed setup.

Easy now. Came with a Cannon sprocketnose and I got it a couple months ago.

If you've been working a deal for 2 years, maybe it isn't going to happen. It's a chainsaw, not a house.

No "Easy Now" needed.

As I said, I wouldn't hold it against Robert or you if that was indeed the saw. Neither he or I get on the board we use for communication much at all. He's in no hurry to sell it (or the two other saws we've been talkin' about off and on since 2007 or so) and I'm not in a hurry to spend the $$$ needed to get them to my doorstep. It will hopefully happen this year...

Cannon sprocket nose for a C/XP-Series eh? Super cool. Don't think you got hosed, even if your C91 is below the SN cutoff I posted above ( and therefore 'should have' had a pyramid reed setup).

Last time I communicated with him was 12/09 (so you could have bought his saw). I wouldn't start a blood feud with either of you if you had. About time to send him another message...

I just got this yesterday. I am the second owner of this Super 1050. It even has the warranty card, manual, and parts list. It's pretty cool because it runs strong, too.

Nice lookin' 1050!
YES - By all means get some dawgs on that - those fuel tanks don't like banging into logs.

Got a call from my Dad yesterday from the cat that gave me the 770G. Some of you might remember that it has quite a history to it. Got run over by a loggin' train back in the early 70's... long story. Anywyas... the Ol' Man said that the guy was curious about the saw. If I had got around to doing anything with it... Uh... nope... :blush: The saw belonged to his father in law. Who is the one that ran that thing in the woods back in the day.

So today I yanked it off the shelf, and did a little work to it. The bar was all rusted to beat hell... so I got a very stiff wire wheel out and took off all the rust. Which uncovered some pretty cool stuff. When this saw was run over by the train... it was wearin' a 6 foot bar. The saw got beat up and the bar bent really bad. So the cat that worked in the shop at the time... cut the bar in two, shortened it, and welded it back together. Then straightened it. You can see the hammer marks in the bar where he beat on it to straighten it back out. The weld was made with stainless steel.
