Homelite DM50

[Lawn Masters]

Hey guys,

I just got back from a day of heavy duty work, both chainsaw and concrete cutting. I found my DM50 cut off saw and got it to run and idle now without stalling much, I just need to tune the carb and/or rebulid it. Anyone know where I can get a carb that will fit my DM50 and is FULLY adjustable? I would like a Walbro carb with the H and L screws on it, the present one is a fixed H needle and adjustable L needle, os needless to say, I would like a different carb that has both as adjustable, not fixed.

Hi Oldsaw,

Here is a link about a modified Walbro. I don't know if this will help but may get you pointed in the right direction.

Sorry, that site is all gibberish to me, it doesnt evne tell me anything about how to improve the carb I have now.

Try a carb from a Homelite 550 chainsaw, I put these on 450's without a problem.

Good Luck, Jonathan

Thanks, would you happen to by any chance have a carb for a 550?

I'm officially in deep ______ here, I need a new or NOS ignition coil for this SOB now. My ignition system is acting really weak and is a miracle it actually can fire at all. Is there an electronic system that will work I could replace it with?
