My Super EZ Automatic is up and running

A freebie from a relative, the saw has VERY low hours. It was stored with fuel in the carb for too long. I looked on e-bay for a carb kit and found a complete new carb for $12.00! So I swapped the carb cleaned the saw and fired her up. I'd post a pic but still can't re-sized pictures, I'll have to break down and buy Photo-Shop.

You shouldn't have to buy Photoshop to resize. If you have a printer, check the software that came with it. You should have some basic photo editing software somewhere. My Epson came with something called Polaroid Photomax and it works pretty well.

Of course, if you want to move people's heads around or deface photos, Photoshop is the way to go.

Homelite Super EZ

A good 70's saw for anyone's collection. Has some nice features such as the trigger lock with the compression release and the manual oiler button. Also, red is a great color for a saw.

If you want to date your saw, remove the two slotted screws in the rear rubber handle grip. A date code for the casting is usually visible on the inside of one of the two halves (8=1978 etc.).

The owners manual lists the factory settings for both the H & L adjustment screws as 1 1/4 turns.

Have fun!

Brian, Check your mailbox.
The chips on this saw are from bouncing around in my uncles trunk. This saw probably only ever cut less than 3 cords.

More Homelite Super EZ pics.

The red saw on top is vintage 1976, the red/white version is a 1975 model.

Both saws have had the fuel lines replaced & the Walbro carbs rebuilt with the diaphragm/gasket kits. The red saw has a coil spring clutch. The S style clutch on the red/white was broken and I replaced it with another S style as this saw is just a collector piece.

I’ll gas up the red saw to cut wood when I’m just putz’n around, but get out the 026 & Husky 351 for any real firewood work.

I just bought a SEZ on eBay and it should be here tomorrow or Tuesday. A SEZ is the first saw I ever used

Those photos would be better if they were a set to a lower compression quality but large physical size. Better details in the small one, though.

If anyone has Microsoft Office, the photo editor that's an optional install works pretty well. Easy to control compression, resizing, rotation, gamma and contrast. I use it 99% of the time even though I have more advanced stuff.

Oh yeah, if you're a sneaky, underhanded, low-life crook with a broadband connection, no need to spend a suitcase of cash for Photoshop.
