Homelite Chainsaws

[rarefish383]

None take, Yes, that’s the same saw. Shows good compression, cylinder looks good. After cleaning carb it runs great. It’s been fun so far and had some really big logs recently to cut, was quite happy to have a “big” saw. I need a new 92dl chain.

Try calling around your local Stihl dealers and ask if they have a two for one sale going. My dealer in Frederick had one going for about 5 years, thought it would never end. I have enough 20", standard 3/8 for my MS 290 that I converted over from 3/8LP to last the rest of my life. Last time I went in they finally quite doing it. But, another dealer over in Liberty Town has one every fall. The one in Frederick would only sell boxed chains. The one in Liberty Town will custom cut chains at 2 for 1. He said he would cut me two .404 chains for my 45" bar on my Super 1050.

Cold weather helped me make some progress on my Super XL925 project, I installed a new piston in the cleaned up original cylinder and did a BGD since there's no danger of free porting.
Those tiny oil lines are a pita but at least every thing is clean.
A few screws for the clutch shield and intake/ carburetor assembly and hopefully she'll roar to life.

Not to anger the Thread Gods but im looking for the biggest bar I can put on a 410... whether it be new or used.. I think its a 31" any help or info would be greatly appreciated! Even a retrofit or cross bar reference would be great

Those saws are not screamers but with a full slip it better pull a 31” bar. That’s what homelite advertised them as for max bar length. I’ll assume it’s in good condition with something at least in the 165 range for compression. If it’s not then 31 may be a struggle depending on what wood you are cutting

I had a friend send me a marketplace listing for this ECS. I have been looking for one for quite some time as I've got the generator that powers it. 230 volt 3 phase 180 cycle. It's the first chainsaw model that Homelite manufactured.

That looks like a 7-29 style bar mount.

So did you get the 20 ECS? I'd really like to see it running.

Yes I did get it. When I get a chance I'm going to disassemble it and do a circuit and insulation check and then see how it runs.

I've got 5-26LCS's so I took the parts with the best paint, logos and tank instructions and put them on one saw.

That's awesome. I have one in pretty good shape with the exception of the wrap handle. Bent up pretty good. Spark. Compression. 60 year old gas. LOL
A project for another day.

She’s an ear bleeder for sure!

Back breaker, too. Pulled mine out to post a couple quick pics here after working on a 200T earlier. Hell, the bar and chain alone on this thing weighs more! LOL

I’ve got a 5-30N project that I need to get at. I really like this style of the Homelites. I guess the 26 still had the float style carbs?

 

[Marine-piper]

My 5-30N is a real beast. I just traded a member for the green cylinder shield I had for the correct black one he had. He pm'd me and asked to trade.

Also my 2 20MCS's

Yes. I've got one that I'd consider a parts saw.

Does anyone have any bake-a-lite intake manifolds for a Super Xl925?

I am looking for the cover over the recoil, and a filter brush.
