Homelite Chainsaws

I don't have any Super Wiz 80 tanks that I know of. Not sure what/if there is anything that will interchange.

I managed to get the 130 running. Points are filed down to pretty much nothing now. Transition off of idle does not seem to be responding well. Going to pull the carb and soak for a spell. Probably rushed it and should really pull the plugs. Cuts just fine.

Looks good. What CC is that? Wrap handle is a nice touch

You sure have been busy, lately. Good lookin' saw.

I'd sure be liking the 60" bar.

I thought the bar was worth the price so I bought 2! A 60 " bar has to be about the limit . I think they are Homelite. The 80 came with a new 1/2 Homelite chain. A little rusty but will clean up.

Nice bars, it's likely chipper chain, but if is chisel chain, well you made a killing.

Here is the chain . Looks like any other to me. Not square. I like the fact that nobody filed on it . Daytona bike week find . Shipped to the corn patch of Illinois . This one came tonight . Super Wiz but what model?

58cc. An earlier version in the series. The 130's came with the full wrap and the 76's half. Essentially the same saw, except for some small details. Most enjoyable to run against anyone with a shiny new ms 271.

Thanks Poge. I've been fortunate to have some time of late. I find myself frequenting the shop after the crew goes to bed. I'll have a few new (to me) ones to run this spring when I hit the hills.

Ebay just sold an xl 100 this morning for $660.00 !

Quick clean on the xl-100 today. Didn’t disassemble much. Running and cutting now.

Brought home a sweet smelling Doug yesterday. Greasy with pitch, as it had fought it's last battle this past fall. Had to attack the fronts of both cases with Varsol and a toothbrush just to get the goo off of them. Nice fatwood at the bottom. Couple of tanks of fuel through each. Had to trudge the double/triple rounds about 25 meters to the roadside to finish them off. Felt it a bit today.

 

[Hoggwood]

A bit of (too) close footage. Wanted to see how it would cut with the battered semi-chisel I found it with. A least the sound is good up close. The tree had quite a bit of compression on the top from the unsupported span. A bit overzealous with my depth. Was pinching a bit. Too busy enjoying the chips piling up at my feet, I guess.

Looks great. Nice work

A super clean super 2!

I tore down both super wiz saws and poured over the IPL's. Turns out what I have is a super wiz 55 and a end of the production run 66. They both share the same bore but different stroke. The 55 dosen't have a air vane governor like the 66. The compression is better on the 66 so I'll start with it .

I can't imagine how we ever did business.. On the phone early, get the crew going and work till dinner, (lunch), on the phone fielding grounders for 30-40 minutes, get the fellers moving again till quitting time, then on the phone till my ears were ringing. Ahh,,, the good ol days

I picked up a little Super 2 in box with papers today for $15. Only problem was the papers were soaked with oil in bottom of case. Mines pretty clean. Will get pics up tomorrow , Joe.
