You know I don't mind doing the kit but the carb looks like a beech on this saw to get out.

Carb comes out easy, its the holding screws that are a tad bit time consuming to back all the way out. I must have done more than 50 carb rebuilds on those Homies.

Ignore until you at least have the saw running good, its only a looks thing.

You taking about the screws that bott through the carb body? Doesn't seem like they could be taken all the way out without taking out the 4 screws in the bottom attaching the reed? That what that thing is? Yep I'm that dumb when it comes to that stuff.
Rick
Just back the screws out til they touch the back of the airbox, the carb and the black spacer will lift out as a unit. The gasket between the carb and spacer and the spacer and reedblock might be stuck on really hard, a tap from a screwdriver handle should jarr the carb loose.

Some of the Pioneers used that same carb and airbox configuration, the 1100 series are almost identical to the Homelite XL12, SXLAO saws.
Only saw work I did today was to clean up the four saws I used lately to cut out the roadway. Touched the chains up and used compressed air to blow out debris. Now ready for more cutting duty.
Hey Jerry
Maybe you'll have an answer for my next question
Now I planned on getting a case splitter since I have three saws to do
On my 372 I have to replace the case gasket
Can split the case just enough to take out the old gasket and slide in the new and will it damage the seal?

Everybody left.
I'm cleaning the machine out ready to go home.

Adam... you will have to split the case completely in order to get the gasket past the crankshaft....that said you only have to remove the crankshaft from one of the case halves. You will want to be able to clean the case half gasket faces really good too. If the saw has lots of use I always replace the main bearings while I have it apart...just because....they're not that expensive and you are already there...good luck...

I have seen many logging operations in my travels this week....never thought of Scotland having enough trees to have the industry....wrong...Haven't had a chance to see an operation in motion yet....terribly steep hillsides where the trees grow...it is actual the erosion slopes at the bottom of the mountains and the mountain valleys...they completely clear cut...Swedish spruce and scotch pine...windrow the slash and let sit for 6 yrs...then replant with useful hard woods..planted in 3' tall plastic tubes to protect from deer etc. The tube biodegrade in the sunlight by the time the tree is tall enough to handle deer nibblings....
