Homelite Chainsaws

[sawnami]

Steve, I assume you're talking about after splitting tank? In place of a gasket? How's it compare to Motoseal?

So far just used Motoseal on crankcase halves.

The XP1020 fuel tank has been sealed for about 7 years and a Super XL fuel tank for about 5 years using anaerobic sealant with no leaks.

Nope. No gasket just sealant.

Best bet would be O'Reilly's.

XL-800 or XL-925 caution!

I just last week install a new pickup hose and filter from Ebay seller Ilrdbrn. http://www.ebay.com/itm/140900045538?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Client who bought the saw called up complained it died and wouldn't run on its side. Later found the fuel hose had split on the filter end.

Fuel line must be really old or cheap ****.

So, lets be careful out there.

I know it may not be the best place to post, but it's definitely got the attention of the right guys. By chance, would someone have a spare xl12 clutch cover they'd sell me? I don't have any frozen heads or parts machines, and I want to put my bow on one of my XL's. I don't want to cut up one of my clutch covers if I could avoid it.

Put a clearing bow on it and you can use the regular clutch cover.

Sent this note to the seller and got his reply back.

"I think you should want to know we had a problem with the fuel pickup line. Hose split on the filter end. My client was upset with my saw. Be good idea to check your remaining stock."

His reply: "these are original homelite fuel lines, will check stock, these are fresh fuel lines from homelite that are not over 3 months oldthankd for letting me know"

My new to me 650.

It's wearing a 42" (46" overall length) bar. The .404 chain needs to be replaced.

The seller's Dad was there when i picked it up and we had a good chat. He bought the saw when they started to cut down all the dead Elms and for cutting some large Oaks up for firewood. He said it was Homelite's largest saw at the time.

He started with an old IEL two man saw and moved to Mac's and then Homelite XL-902AM's with 30" bars.

I got the owner's manual with it as well.

I still have to go through the saw but it does run.

Nice Dawgz!

Those are the standard west (coast?) spikes I believe. The saw always looked small in the pics I've seen. It's not small.
I'm just going through it now. The carb is a Walbro WB. It's very large.
The seller gave me more than enough new Oregon chain for it to make a loop.
The only issues I've found so far is the outer bar plate (bottom chewed off), a Tygon impulse line, a bent chain tension screw and a leaky duckbill in the fuel cap. Starter, P&C, muffler and handlebars and air filter all look great as does the case.

You need to stop by next time you're near and run it.

That would be very cool! I'll bring a Super EZ to compare. LOL

Don't do that. That might embarrass the 650.

Can anyone help me with info on this . I am not even sure of the year

Not sure of the year. The engine is a 11.5 cu. in. (188.45 cc) Model 24 two stroke.

I pondered buying a similar one last month but It was missing the governor linkage which I figured would be pretty hard to find plus it was so darn heavy.

Knowing your history, it will probably look factory new or better when you're done with it.

I just checked the Homelite 3rd edition repair manual and it has the 24 series engine and some generator info in it.
I'm guessing you have a copy of that manual but in case you don't I'll PM a link to it.

Thanks Tim this will help
