Homelite Chainsaws

[Maintenance supervisor]

Yes, about 25-30 bucks each. Wish i had of bought a case of them a few years back. Got 3 1050's and a bunch of C series.

Is it an EBay only item?

I've been loosing alot of bolts out of the super 1050A so it was time for maintenance since I'm using it so much.
Replaced handle bolts with socket button caps and used thread lock orange, small block mopar rocker hold downs fit nicely on the handle for extra strength.
1 gas tank bolt with a holley base plate screw.View attachment 789992 View attachment 789993

Awesome job with the repair!

Oh I picked up a super 55 with a bow bar the other day for 20 bucks, no spark ,has 1/2 chain,handle is bent ,missing little covers , has great compression. So perfect.

I did see them on ebay. Forget if I found them anywhere else. I was also looking for fuel tank gaskets and they run about the same.

How do I get the starter pulley off? Homelite 7-19

Put a chip in my C51, fired right up. Now I need to go through the fuels system.

Here's another seal interchange for the Homelite list.

71597 crosses to CR6105.

Generally, these seals are installed as pair. First one with the lip inward, 2nd lip outward. My 6-22 has these on both sides, so 4 seals. This seal is also used on alot of Poulan sandcast saws (# 1913), some Wright saws and I have used it for the Remington Bantam series inner drum seal.

Working on this 6-22. Needs a fuel tank as the bottom has a hole knocked in it where the mounting bracket broke. Tore it all down and everything else is hunky-dory. Quite filthy is all.

I'd say you need to clean that cylinder. The fins look pretty plugged up.

I am not terribly fond of those Nova 2 modules. The older brown Atom modules were far more reliable.

I'm taking the whole thing back apart and cleaning it. I have good spark, and it fired the first time I primed it. Now nothing. Pulled th muffler and all looks well. Put a prime in the carb and pulling the engine over with the switch off, I have fuel bubbling past the rings. Only have 90 PSI. Put a few drops of mix oil in the cylinder and it jumped to 100 on first pull and 120 on second. Think rings might not be seating. Might give it a soak in ATF/Acetone. That freed up my C72. It went from 60 to 120 just soaking for a week or so. I put a Nova in my Super 1050 10 years ago and still running. Bought a bunch of them back then. I have heard some dissatisfaction with them.

Early on in my saw hobby, I took to installing those modules instead of bothering with the old points. Nowadays, I stick to the original ignitions and have even reverted one or 2 of the conversions back. There's alot of things I do differently, steps I don't skip.

How do I get the starter pulley off? Homelite 7-19View attachment 790305

Release the spring tension by unwinding the rope then remove the 4 screws. Pulley lifts off. To go further, remove the spring/shield assembly. Remove the crankshaft nut and 3 screws at the base of the ball starter. That whole assembly lifts off the crank along with the inner bearing races and shim. Remove the flywheel with a 3 screw harmonic balance puller and pull straight. Don't bend the long crank stub.

Chris B.

Edit: Don't lose any shims you find underneath the pulley. They set the pulley out so it doesn't drag on the spring shield.

 

[rarefish383]

I did keep all the parts if I ever want to go back, or trade the saw. I left the points in the C72.

 

[cbfarmall]

Got the 6-22 further along, just waiting for the replacement tank. Runs with fuel sprayed in the carb. The 6105 seals are perfect for these saws.

Thanks. I'm parting it out for a guy on here.

I have what I believe to be a 6-22. Right bore, right reed set up, but came as a basket case missing almost all the paint and the tag and the starter cover.

Nice simple saws to work on.

Dang, Tim, I'd like to see that up close. Is that a piece of rubber he just screwed on, or did it catch on fire, or both?

I'm guessing he didn't have a clutch cover so he cobbled up a Husky cover and had to cut the top plate off. Hense, the incredible use of neoprene closed cell material to quietly duct the chips away. I believe that 922 came with a lot of 500 saws from western Canada.

I guess you do what you have to do to cut your firewood. I like a guy that doesn't give up.

Not like us guys that get hung up on the little things.
