That's not a chain break. Some just have that spring loaded handguard. Thanks I found a 076 badge last night and ordered it. I need to find rivets and the Stihl badge. Assuming the badge I ordered is the correct one lol.

I think I'm going to need to fix the clutch mechanisms because I can't get the chain to stop. The H and L are holding great. No signs of air leaks thank the Lord!!!

should be a spring in that handle Lee. part #0000-998-2800. ????? possible weak clutch springs on the spinning chain. any idle adjustment on that saw?

Pretty, pretty, pretty. Almost too nice to use! What length of bar is on it, 28''?

You are correct sir, that is a 28" bar, perfect for that size Saw I feel, 74 cc's

Lol im running a 28" on my homie 360

It mite be overkill....but hey it looks boss lol

I've taken the idle as far out as I can but won't stop.

And thanks for the part #. Looks like it's actually 2200 for the 076

nice view the PCH is on my bucket list

The PCH is well south of us, we are off US 101 just shy of the Orygun border.

This is where I started, bone stock.

Haha, the 350/360s are sweet saws. All that's missing is a full wrap. Wouldn't that look nice!

Well the rain put a damper on my milling plans, but i was able to get the 3800 countervibe up and running, got the 68 bow saw lined out, put the spike back on the xl923, cleaned and serviced the ms 271, boxed and prepped 8 saws to go on ebay, cleaned the garage, and put my new propane grill together. So decently productive day.

Well, the Homie 350 is back up and running after I re-epoxied the ignition part, and rebuilt the carb. Needle was way to high, flooding the poor cylinder and air-box. Does anyone know the target high-rpm speed for the Homelite 350/360's? I got it around 9-10,000 by ear, but wanted to find a better spec.

 

[Boomer 87]

I think 10k is about right, you may check acres.

 

[LonestarStihl]

Most the older folks run about 10k where the newer kids run about 13k

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Forgot about Acres. Nothing for the 350, but the 360 says 8,000, 11,000 to 12,000 no load, so I assume the 8,000 would be in cut?

 

[Boomer 87]

Yes

They may not be the highest reving saw, but the torque is there where it is missing on the Stihl. This saw oiler also counteracts the stingy one the ms361 has. Ran it for about five min and already seemed to go through a gallon of oil already lol.

The 350, 360, 450, 550,650,750 was homelites answer to the new lighter faster generation, it was unfortunately too late to catch up.
