Thank you.
On a 1020 what carb belongs on them? An Tillotson HL249a? I got a 1020 alittle while ago and it came with a smaller HL carb(I dont remember the model right now) but my c71 has the same carb on it. I have a HL249a from another parts 1020 and am gonna stick it on this saw even though the saw runs I just want all the muscle I can get. Im sure this will be fine but was just wondering what Tillotson carb belongs on the 1020's?
I believe the carb should be a Tillotson HL222A
Or possibly a HL261A

I'll take a look at my 1020 and post up what HL is on it tomorrow morning.
550's
Guys, I just got a couple of 550's in and need some help. How do you check for spark on these saws? I've never fooled with one and it has a strange ignition to me.
There is no cap to pull and when you take the two screws the whole cover falls off. One is missing that part and I guess ebay will be the place to find one if I knew what to call the damn thing.
I appreciate any and all help, THANKS....

Thanks Lee, I know the other carb I have isnt either one of them 2. It was something like hl149.
Barney, I think they call that part a transformer. I havent actually checked one for spark but think you could either use a clip on tachometer or run a wire from in between where the transformer contacts the case. Maybe??
XL 12 base gasket.
I picked up a near mint cylinder, piston and rings for my blue/white XL 12.
Would it be benificial to use just gasket sealer on the jug base? Has anyone else done this?
Looks like I can get another .015"-.020" squeeze.
I will measure the squish naturally.

I have checked spark on them,what a PITA !!
found the info by using search,darned if i rember what i searched for tho
when you pull the transforner one of the bolts grounds it,i think the one on the right side looking at the back of the saw.the other side supplies voltage.you have to rig up a setup using jumper wires with short bolts or whatever to extend those to the contacts on the transformer.. then you have to ground the spark plug however you can.
easist way is to find a running saw and swap the transformers,they all interchange between the models that use them.

A couple of new saws today
Picked up 5 new saws today, an old Remington with a broken crankshaft, a Poulan 306A with a 28" bar
, a Stihl 015ATV and two old Homies.
The e-mail said there were 2 Super XL 925's, but I suspect this is one is a C-7 derivative.
The second actually was a 925.
A picture of the 4 running saws.

Stopped at a local shop today to look at the new Echo saws. He is a Homelite turned Shindaiwa turned Echo dealer. Same old story, we got to talking saws and he presented me with the opportunity to by some of his Homelite NOS. I of course said "I'll pass, no one is interested in that junk."
More to come......He also showed me the parts saw roomsssss. I need a bigger truck

Alright Homies...
I have two Homelite 330's which apparently are as common as dirt judging by all the parts on Ebay. I am going to fix one up and give it back to my friend Bill in Iowa who's barn it came out of (he of course doesn't know this). The other came with the case I bought for Bill's when it goes home.
Question: I was going to test compression on both of them before taking them apart. Is this a stupid idea if they have been sitting around for who knows how long? Maybe I should pop the mufflers first, inspect, pour a little premix in and dump out first? I just don't want to get false readings or hurt the cylinder if they have been sitting.
I am going to fix Bill's while my boy Isaiah fixes the "extra" one side by side.

I have a couple, the carb boots are the major issue on these saws.

wow, if I had that 3 slot bar I'd be hunting for a nice 5-30 N to hang it on.
