Homelite Chainsaws

[kev1n]

I think you're going backwards. The clutch turns clockwise to remove.

Thanks for the tip, I guess it's on there really tight now. Lol.

Does it actually say "Homelite" on it? There were several other chainsaws made during that time period that look somewhat similar to a Homelite Zip/Buz/500. My Mono/Wards WD60 looks somewhat similar to a Homelite 500 or Buz. Also, Homelite made saws for a few hardware store chains around that time. I've seen a yellow private label rebadged Homelite Zip.

Does any have the service manual and the repair manual handy for Super WIZ 55 (Homelite)? It seems like Homelite chain saw are falling behind and the old saws are disappearing as the new saws on the market take over.

anyone? I like to keep this one going as it is a bear! And good looking.

Almost any IPL/manual for the basic upright cylinder gear-drive Homelite will do, the exception is the 900 series.

Homelite 300

OK Guys,
These two Homies (classic 300 and SLXO auto) are driving me nuts! Is it possible/likely that the check valves on both carbs are blocked? Both units will fire with fuel in the spark plug hole and in the carb. Both are getting fuel to the carb, both pump side and metering side but not getting through to the cylinder. The 300 is giving about 140 psi comp and the slxoa can't get my tester to seal. But the slx has run and run strongly. The 300 has not yet done more than fire a few cycles

I'm sure the carbs are clean and have new diaphragms, needle valves and gaskets. So still need help. My old Pioneers are running brilliantly.

All help welcome.

Make sure the impulse hole is clear. I assume reed valve is okay. Fuel lines and fuel filter can be checked, also.

There is a XL100 on ebay for $500 buy it now, starting bid was $350. Not sure what its worth but it seems reasonable for an awesome piece.

 

[lesorubcheek]

That one went yesterday with the BIN. Looked nice, but $500 is :msp_ohmy:.

Hey guys got my first Homelite this week. An SXL 922. Fired up great and I was stoked. Then went to mess with it today and carb box had a ton of gas in it and it was leaking outta the trigger assembly...sucks. So a carb kit is in my future. A 28" bar and chain is on the way! Im trying too pick up a few saws I think are cool.

 

[Eccentric]

Tillotson HS carb will take an RK-23HS kit. Homelite/Walbro SDC will take a K10-SDC kit.
