Homelite Chainsaws

[thomas1]

From the VA GTG. Lots of classic Homelites in attendance, I'm sorry I didn't get more pics and vids.

A couple I picked up at the MO GTG this weekend. Sorry about the foreigner in the middle.

The Super 2100 is probably too rough to restore, but it runs strong.

you are the only other guy I have seen heard of having an 850... I have my dads from the farm...I rescued it, my brother was going to pitch it!

Just had a lucky find a piston and cylinder for a Homie 750 pistons are like rockin'horse poop to find

P.S Would anyone know the wrist pin size ,,, dia and length ? for the 650, 750

Had that one in my watch list for a while. Almost pulled the trigger on it a couple of days ago. Glad that someone here got it.

Just have to keep turning stones, they are out there!

WB-9 vs. WB-22

Notice the choke arms. They are machined 180° different from each other. They actuate the choke plate in opposite directions. I think this due to the emulsion tube(?) in the WB-22.

 

[thomas1]

More.

Trying to show the differences in metering lever heights. The WB-22 lever was set noticeably lower, it is supposedly a NOS carb and my WB-9 came off of my 750.

Here you can see the tube in the WB-22 that blocks the rotation of the choke plate.

This followed me home over the weekend I used to use these back in the 80s it seems to run pretty good.

Well for those who aint diehard Homie men whats they off ? Thomas

Looks like a good one.

The Homie 2000 carcass.

Piston from Chris showed up today so I tore him down.

The good: Cylinder is looking not too shabby. With the replacement piston and new rings, we should be able to generate some great compression.

The bad: Bottom portion of the rib the bucking spike bolts to is broken off. Piston pin nearly fell out of the piston when I took off the cylinder. Rod big end bearing has a lot of felt radial play. (Yikes!) All the comp. release stuff is missing.

Will finish disassembly so I can measure/inspect the crank.

Old piston on Left.

I don't have any, don't like em'.

I have about 40 old hommies. What you looking for?

The WB-9 is the standard 750 carb. It has smaller venturi compared to the 650 carb, which is a WB-2.

The WB-22 was used on some ultralights and powered parachutes, it has the same venturi size as the WB-2 and was easier to find.

 

[watsonr]

The carbs are standing up, same height in the mounted position? Can the choke and throttle shaft be changed to get the correct end on them? or made to work?

WB-9 vs. WB-22With just a hole in the cover, on the WB-22, how does it receive an impulse signal?

You're seeing some kind of plugging compensator like Stihls have. It protrudes thru the A/F base on the 650/750s. Your pulse lines are in the previous picture on the fuel pump cover.

Carbs appear identical with the following exceptions:

1. Venturi size

2. WB-22 has the brass tube inside where the WB-9 just has a hole in the body, no extension tube.

3. The WB-22 idle screw is mounted in the boss on the carb body. The WB-9 has no idle screw, it is on the saw and contacts the ramp on the throttle arm.

4. The fittings on the WB-22 are much larger OD. The ID appears to be the same.

5. The choke plates turn in opposite directions. This means the detents are drilled on opposite sides on the shafts. If you swap shafts the detents will be on the wrong side and you will be turning the choke plate in the wrong direction. Putting the shaft from the WB-9 into the WB-22 results in you having to push the choke on and pull it off, opposite of what it should be.

6. The stops for the choke plates. On the WB-9 the plate contacts a stop cast into the body of the carb. On the WB-22 that stop has been machined flat and there is a roll pin inserted for the choke plate to contact.


The shafts and covers swapped just fine, physically. Issues to overcome seem to be the choke operation and the size of the fuel inlet fitting on the WB-22. I'm hoping it's as simple as drilling a new hole in the WB-22 choke arm and working out the fuel line sizes.

You are correct and I am upside down.

All is forgiven. Not so sure you'll be able to handle that Remy 990 now.
