Homelite Chainsaws

Does anyone have some information on a homelite bar that's marked SP 28381 F5

Scored a Homelite XL brush cutter today for $75.

I picked up a 20 MCS and a Buz along with 16 other saws at a garage sale yesterday. I already sold 14 out of the bunch and kept 4.

And I bet that 20MCS is one of the ones you kept.

Good guess Greg! [emoji846]
I'm using it as a parts donor for another 20MCS.
I had always wanted a Disston DO100 with the short beaver tail bar and straddle chain so I kept it also.

Picked up this little XL yesterday. The bar nut was stripped. I used the angle grinder to grind it down on two sides. Then tapped the the nut with a chisel and it split in half. Took the bar off and put fuel in it. Started right up and sounds great.

I love the super EZ automatic my brother inlaw gave me had to get this big blue for 100$, don't know if I paid too much but she's a runner.

Worried that I paid too much for the super xl automatic?, I picked up these 2 for 48$.

I've got so many red ones I don't like to go over about $20 for them. I got a blue XL12 for $15 last year that runs great. I think you did fine. Since all of my friends know I collect saws, the red Super XL's are the ones most often given to me, and I never refuse them. I still like them.

It's not like it's about the money anyway. I'm not wealthy by any means but saws are a fantastic hobby so when I restore them and get them running perfectly I wouldn't even know what price to put on them? Ebay is probably the worst place for me to get an idea of real prices but if you were to ask some one what a chainsaw that cuts reliably and strong after a hurricane or tornado is worth thats the real price.

I've got a dual-trigger super-2 that I'm doing some maintenance on. Runs fine but oiling seems a little light. I was replacing the duckbills and I ripped the pressure line in the tankwhen doing so. I thought I had enough slack to pull it out, trim it down, and proceed, but the line is a bit swollen and I can't get it back through the hole in the oil tank.

The hole seems to be 1/8 OD. Do I just source any fuel line with this OD? Or is there some special line that works better than others? Any tips for installation? I have a new duckbill for it and the little sintered bronze thingy.

Looks good means p/c is probably shot from what I learned on this forum.

This 20 MCS fires up after cleaning the points. It's going to be a parts saw for another that I'm building.

Answering my own question here for benefit of anyone else in the future with this problem. I found a fuel line pack at Home Depot - Arnold 490-240-0008 that contains two sizes of fuel line. The larger line is 3/16 O.D. and fits well. I think it is Tygon but not sure.

Picked these 2 this morning for $35. The XL 102 is quite clean and should be a runner with little effort. Cant believe these are 57cc in such a small frame!!
The C71 unfortunately has a pretty bad case of "white death". It seems to be confined to the top of the saw and the cases have been saved. It will need the airbox/rear handle replaced as well as the air filter cover. It also looks as if it had little use. But appears it sat somewhere with moisture getting to it from the top which seems odd.
Seems not a lot of parts around for this, what models will interchange?

 

[ThistleIA]

Most all parts from the more common C72 will interchange with the C71,both are 4.9 cube/80.3cc.Air filter covers from C5/C51/52/C7/72/C9/91/XP1000/XP1020/Super 1050/XP1100/XP1130 will fit as an example.

 

[2broke2ride]

Thanks, will the airbox from the C5 fit? I found a few of those on the bay.
