Homelite 955 VI

[wv311]

I found this beauty in my dad's barn today. I vaguely remember him running it back in the 80's when I was a kid. I started the tear down this evening just to get her all cleaned up. The piston and cylinder look pristine and it has good spark so hopefully a carb kit and new lines and I'll be in business. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for or any problems i should expect?

Acre's site has that listed as an 82cc machine with a 14.5 lb power head. Pretty impressive.

It's basically a SXL 925 with anti vib. They were pretty strong saws.

Pour a little Coors in it and it ought to run like a top........

I poured a lot them in me while I was cleaning the saw up.
