Homelite Super E-Z Auto

[jhellwig]

I was rummaging about in an old shed where I live and lookie what I found. A homelite Super E-Z Auto. Kinda neat looking saw. The oiler works. It turned over hard. Once I put mix in it halfway through the first pull it went easier. Seams like good compresion. It didn't seam good that it got lubed up so soon. Maybe a bad case seal. Don't have tools here to check for spark or pull the bar cover off. I looks like a good find though.

I don't have any idea how long it has been sitting but I bet 10 years.

Anyone know.......is the rod thats connected to the throttle
lock go to a compression release?

Yup.

I got a nice one on ebay at the moment. Pretty good saw. Worth putting a little time into.

So Is anyone else with me on thinking that it loosening up so fast was bad? It could have sucked fuel that fast but I doubt it.

Compression release?

What would a Super EZ in better condition than that one be worth. I think it's the automatic but I'm not 100% sure unless I looked at it again. It does need a new bar, chain sprocket and clutch but it seems to run good.

My mother has one but has no need for it.

Compression release?

I suppose. Maybe I didn't set the throttle the first few times I pulled it over.

Poke around on ebay to see what they are selling for.

Good little saw for stuff too big for an XL but not worth firing up an SXL-AO.

Yes, your saw has a compression release, and it's connected to the throttle lock via a little linkage. If you'll look closely you'll see it pull the little plunger up in the cylinder when you set the throttle lock

Ditto on the comp release. I've had mine 28 years and it's still a nice saw.

I have a Super EZ Auto also. Nice saw. If you have time and the few dollars it should take to get it running well, it will be worth it. They are very easy to work on and find parts for. Mine needed more time than money but, I like to play with them, so I didn't mind.

I bought mine new in 1979, it still runs well. It's got a little time on it, I used it to bust tops for a couple summers and cut a bunch of firewood with it. They are a nice lightweight saw for the smaller stuff.

Well I took a look at getting it running today and no spark. It appears to be bad points.

Any suggestions of a good source of parts?

What shape are your points in. I have seen some pretty badly pitted points that a points file will take care of.

 

[jhellwig]

Haven't dug that far down yet.

I also want to replace the air filter but the homelite site says it is no longer available.

Check out ebay for parts, search sellers stores for Homelite EZ - there's loads of parts from good sellers there. Some EZ's have points, some electronic -
