I never notice until I saw your pictures. When you said you rewound the cord to tighten it up a little. All of my Ez's and Super EZ's have two small screws on the plate with the EZ logo. You can take those screw out and just turn that plate to tighten up the spring. I've bought a couple of them and the emblem was upside down. The first one, I thought someone put a new decal on it, up side down, I don't see those screws in your pics.
The 775D is a good saw. You need the 775G now.I'm not too active in the homelite department but I thought I would share this with you folks. I picked up a super beat up 775D awhile back from a guy I get parts from and decided to bring it back to life. Ended up doing a full overhaul on it and although I still have to address the mag rot it is at least running now. It runs well too, such a distinct sound! It's sure as hell not going to win a beauty pagent though...well it might if its an ugly duckling pageant.
It's spent its whole life here in north Idaho as a logging saw. Hopefully you're getting the picture, it's been rode hard and took a lot of work to get going again but I feel it was worth the effort. There's a lot of history behind the saw, it tells a story and since I've lived here in north Idaho my entire life I feel a little connected to it. I'm going to put a bar on it and do a few cuts soon. I'm almost disappointed that I'm finished. It was a fun rebuild and good learning experience. I have a model 5-20 that I'm going to have to tackle here soon!

Pretty much the same saw as a 775, with small styling changes. Looks like you need a cylinder cover.My 770G is a beast too and pull it does.

Super 1050A ,sdc carburetor and automatic oiler.
I think some if not all C series will fit.
No, they won't. The 2000 cover has brackets for the decomp lever. 2100 cover won't even work.
Wish I had pics of Doug's big brother, the early Super 1050 with the Tilly carb. I had him hanging on my climbing belt many times. I was having real separation withdrawl syndrome in that big empty space where Doug used to sleep, but, now a 770G took his bunk, and all is well.
