Homelite Chainsaws

[bob kern]

I have the SXL925 with the Tillotson HS 151 carb that I'm trying to find answers for. Thanks for your reply. OT

I wouldn't be much help on that. Sorry. Not torn into one of those yet.

It turns out I have two. Both will turn. One is in much better shape. View attachment 1213469View attachment 1213470View attachment 1213471View attachment 1213472

Well I like the looks of this one! If it's for $20 I'll take it! Let me know your preferred payment method, I have had good luck using PayPal. Just need you email address to send you the $20.

mine had the same hole you circled in red. if I remember right, it interfaces with a hole in the reed block does it not? I do not recall having any problem with it. what issue is it causing you?

It does not interface with the reed block as it comes out through the tiny hole circled in blue in one of my photos. I call that the carb throat and someone else called that the venturi. That doesn't matter. What matters is the large hole is connected to the tiny hole. No filtration is there to block debris or contaminates. If anything should happen to enter the large hole, it would probably clog the exit hole.
I am not having any issues. I just rebuilt the carb and want to make sure I won't have any. The carb is off of a 1977 Homelite Super XL925 which is in pristine condition. Very little use. Extremely dirty as original owner was using used motor oil for chain lube. It now belongs to a friend and I am cleaning it up for him. Rebuilt the carb, replacing the fuel lines as the ones in it now are like concrete, etc. . I feel certain it will run as it has great compression, great blue spark, etc. It just needs a little tender loving care and should be back on line soon. Thanks for your reply. OT

I see. here's the same hole in my carb from when I had it apart. I don't think mine had a passage open into the intake. same carb, same saw.
