Homelite Chainsaws

My auto oiler isnt working on the 410. The hose is intact in the tank. Where else can I look for problems?

Any work done on the saw recently? Pickup screen plugged??

Nothing repaired in relation to the oil. Screens look okay. Manual oiler works. Take the screen off and see if it works?

See attached pic. I believe the pump can be rebuilt. Make sure oil line doesn't have any cracks or it will suck air instead of oil.

If I go in to remove the oil pump would it be best to replace the oil line? It looks to be original. Which parts can be replaced on it? I am not seeing anything but the pump in my IPL.

Take the oil pump off. Sometimes the shaft under the two screws with a plate over end of shaft backs out and then the
gear on the shaft doesn't mesh with the big worm gear. It also may have some dirt in it. If the threads on both gear and valve aren't stripped, it should work. I have two new complete pumps A-93319, but they are pricey/

I'll work on that after I get back from work, how much is the pump?

I ended up tearing down the super xl-130 I've been fitting up that husky coil with. I skipped the pressure and vac test on the first round. Found out about 2 cuts into a test run it was leaning out at WOT. Should have been more diligent. Even with the low hours on the machine. Funky base gasket. The failed Prestolite likely saved it from an early death had the PO been able to run it much longer. Fortunately, the piston and cylinder are fine. Rings look new. It gave me a reason to hook a hose up to my hot water tank and wash down a couple of saws outside. The threaded insert worked well. I had to tap a decent sized hole but there appears to be enough material left.

Any further info on the Husky coil solution?

Thanks Cory

Curious myself. Was going to mention that HLS was selling aftermarket versions a couple of days ago for somewhere around 9 bucks but I got sidetracked and forgot to post. May have been worth getting a couple to experiment with at that price.

The coil works well. I went through the trouble of retiming it. But in the end, it is about 3-4 degrees advanced from the key position. It cut well.

Cylinder base sprung an air leak again though. There is very little contact area on one side of the cylinder and is proving difficult to seal. It likely will need a gasket, some warmer shop temperatures and a bit of sealant to set up properly. I ran it too soon.

I should pick up a couple of coils. It would not surprise me if they proved viable on other makes equipped with the Prestolites.

Which Husky coil was it Cory?

and.... Happy New Year to all my fellow Homelite miscreants!

Anyone got a choke switch (just the plastic part on top) for a 150 theyd be willing to part with? I have the metal part and the linkage that goes inside the case. Seems that no matter how careful ive been lately something walks off. Dam.

My "safe keeping" spots are full of little goodies. Those "spots" seemed obvious at the time. Not so much anymore.

I will post up a picture of the saw Tim. It was missing the badge and some other parts. My best guess (dangerous) is 50'ish or so Husky. If so, I am reading that coil was common on a wack of saws.

hopin this fix will work on pioneer farm [& lite] saws too. might be a bit much, but also that it's one used in plastic poulan/husky ho saws. they'd be worth pickin up.

That would be great. I'm sure one of the Husky guys will be able to ID the saw.

Never mind. Found it on the floor

Here's one for the "never sell" shelf.

My grandpa's saw was given to me yesterday. It fired right up with fresh gas but then died so I'll check the plug when I get home. It hadn't been run in over 20 years.

Besides looking like it was once ran without bar oil or a really dull chain the saw is in great shape.

 

[sweepleader]

Put a tag on it so others will know the story.

Happy New Years to my fellow collectors of red and slate blue!

We were thinking (in another thread) it may be a variant of the 50 ~ 55 series based on a couple of pics of the coil. Cory was going to look for a part # but a pic of the saw would certainly work just as well. Regardless, they should be plentiful and cheap.
