Last few pieces painted this morning. Onto the reassembly.
I felt the same way after I got to run mine. All the talk on here was that they were not all that great and a pain to work on. Well in a way they were right but I was surprised after I got it together. I had to replace intake boot, and if I recall the impulse nipple was loose in the case, had to fix that and a carb kit. After I got it going I thought it was a cool old saw and still enjoy cutting with it.

The Nova module should work as my 1130g has an Atom module and works fine.
I've got a Nova II in my Super 1050 Auto, and will probably put one in the C5 I just got, Joe.
They will work on a 2 magnet flywheels but not three. I have one on a 900 series Homelite and one on Jonsereds 801. Both work well,
My cousin called and said he bought me something. One dollar each.
Both saws have good compression. The C5 has no spark, haven't messed with the 330 yet. I might put a Nova II in it because I have one on the bench. One question? Shouldn't the C5 have the same bar mounts as my Super 1050's. I was going to stick one of my 24 inch bars on it because I have a brand new chain for it. The C5 looked like it had 3/8 chain on it. Could you swap them around? I wasn't sure if they had a rim sprocket on them. I do have a couple new rims from my 1050's in 404. Anyway, I'll be a little while getting to them. I'm having my left knee replaced tomorrow. My new knee was my retirement present to me, 30 years at UPS. Last day was last Thursday, Joe.

Congrats on the saws and retirement.
But with all due respect, I hope your new knee was delivered via FedEx and actually arrived in one piece!
Good luck with the surgery and recovery. The saws will be waitin' for ya.

I just wanted to take a min. to say what great people are on this site! Not only did I get the info and help to get my dads old Homelite up and running, but the little parts I needed (that I thought didn't exist probably anymore) just showed up in the mail Free of charge!
Wow. Thanks Carl! My Saw XL923 runs like a champ for the first time in years!

Should I use yamabond 4 or 5 to seal my homelite 550 tank halves together?

Put her together. I want to see the finished product.
I hopped in a dumpster and pulled out 3 complete Homelites earlier this week. I managed to clean up and get these two running as is. A couple of new K10-HDC's will help.
