Homelite Chainsaws

[ScreamingBeaver]

Just bought a homelite 35 will post pictures soon . cuts like a charm all 53cc of it

 

[leecopland]

I think it is 57cc. Does your have a chain brake? Looking forward to the pics.

 

[ScreamingBeaver]

Yes has a brake and a mag case

 

[ScreamingBeaver]

57cc is ever better

Question about the 7-29. Acres site says the belt drive is a 2.75:1 reduction. Does that mean when the engine is spinning a 2750 rpm the chain is spinning at 1000? So, at WOT of 5000 rpm, the chain will be going a little less than 2000? Thanks, Joe.

Chain speed is measured in feet per second, this eliminates the variable caused by different bar lengths.

She's a beautiful saw IMO

I didn't ask my question in an accurate way. I understand the chain speed and bar length thing. I often explain to folks that if the chain is going 10 miles per hour on a 48" bar and you put a 24" bar on, the chain is still going 10 miles per hour, that doesn't change. It just takes that first tooth longer to get to the end and start coming back on the longer bar.

My question was about the ratio reduction. I've never run a gear drive and every one talks about the torque and grunt of a gear drive. Last year I was super pumped up when a friend gave me a Wiz Super 77 Gear Drive, but, before I got it running some low life stole it. Now I've got this 7-29. It's a 2.75:1 belt reduction. So, I assume the chain will be spinning slower than the engine, but with lots of torque. Even though it's not a gear reduction, it's still a belt reduction, of almost 3 to 1. I should have the same effect running it as I would with the Super 77, with a much bigger engine. So, I guess my real question is, if I get this saw running right, stick it in a 30" White Oak log and lean on it, will it cry, whimper, and bog down, or laugh and say I got 20 more inches of bar, go get a bigger log, Joe.

It will chew through it, just not at a rapid rate.

 

[rarefish383]

Thanks GS, I'm looking for a bigger log already, Joe.

Any info on the saw I bought

I believe that the 35 was limited to the Canadian market and came out in the early 1990's. It is 57 cc's (same size as the SuperXL) but it had a chainbrake.

Came across an early 50's dealer franchise information brochure the other day.

Folded out halfway, it's 20" X 30"

The price tag is applied to the brochure separately.

it also has a fairly good anti vibe set up.

I will be using lots shortly am excited that I have one

It's going to ask for a bigggggger log

Just to prove that I meant it when I said the Super 2100 wasn't going to be a shelf queen. It got exercised at a GTG yesterday. Covered with sawdust, bar oil, overfilled and bathed it premix , and a few scratches and chips. It was worth it to see it enjoyed.

fuel leaks out of the check valve in my super xl when I tilt it. replaced the gasket before noticing it coming from the sintered check valve that's in the cap.
please tell me how to either remove/clean the check valve, get a replacement check valve, or direct me to a non-leaking fuel cap? thanks
