Homelite Chainsaws

Pulled another one off the parts shelf--Super Wiz. Came to me complete but dirty. It was disassembled and the pieces here and there. I gathered it all up, cleaned it, got spark. Just needs a fuel tank which is on the way. Tank was horribly shellaced, had the wrong color side cover and that cover had a broken screw or 2 which I don't feel like fooling with. Added the bow, which is aftermarket, but seems to be made for the large Homelite mount. The only other thing I plan to do is to swap in a 2:1 gear set to go with the .404 sprocket. Currently has 3.84:1.

Super Wiz is done and running quite well. Also, grabbed this 7-19C which is quite nice. Only thing not original are a couple of fasteners on the flywheel cover.

I laid out my gear sets for the 3 ratios these saws came with. 2, 2.84, and 3.57:1. Depending on the year, you could have a wider drum, clutch and cover. My older 6-22, 5-20 and 17 have a narrower gear cover and couldn't accommodate the wide drum. It can work the other way around.
