Homelite C5 ???

[superfire]

i was wondering what carb settings on this old girl. paid $50.00 for her with a
3' bar and 404 chain. would like too see if i can get her running. need a bath and a new spark plug and starte handle. what is the general view of this series of homelite good bad or inbetween . i hope to get her ruuning so i can see if i should put a better bar and chain on her. the bar is a croos bred piece of junk it is 10"s of a homelite bar 27"s of a mac hard nose bar:jawdrop:

Those C- series Homies are supposed to be real good saws! Let's see some pics man!

I've never owned one, but I've heard good things about the C series saws. If you're used to the modern conveniences of today's saws, you may be in for a surprise with that one, though.

As far as initial carb settings, I don't know on that particular saw but most of the big old homelites are either 1 or 1.25 turns or so on both needles. Those numbers may not be the "spec" numbers, but it'll get you in the ballpark. If I'm in doubt, I generally start a little rich on the idle needle and then lean it up a bit if need be.

I've been getting one going again. Have posted here a bunch regarding the old C-5. Had a difficult time finding someone to rebuild the Tillitson HL-141 carb, but finally found someone to do it. I put a 29" bar on her as I figured a 77 cc saw could pull that without an issue but the clutch is a weak point. It will cut but you can't bury the dogs into the log and bare down on it as you will get some slipping. It's good old saw and worth refurbishing. :greenchainsaw:

I guess not...

maybe someone could give me an idea of how to do this

This is out of an Intertec chainsaw manual.
Initial carb adjustment for all C Series Saws is 1/2 - 3/4 turns open for low and high speed mixture screws.

I have it on good authority that those parts will see $350-400 before its over.


Only the final bid is the winning one.

RBW, I appreciate the help.

Not sure what I am doing wrong. Imported the image from photobucket by copying the img file. maybe I should try to copy the html file?

 

[mjbilbo]

well, that didn't work either. maybe a computer class would work :bang:
