Homelite parts

jhellwig,
cmsmallengines is a good one, I'd also try mfg supply,
and cutters choice. They have alot of parts for saws
and the like.

Homelite Super EZ

jhellwig,
I've got lots of projects like that also, I've got a
couple of saws that I need to work on. I have a
Homelite Super XL (Blue in color, original color) that
has a Tillotson carb on it that needs to be rebuilt.
I have lots of Walboro carbs from weed eaters and
such, would one work on the saw?

Thanks,
Engineian

Well fixing this saw crept back into my mind.

Anyone know where to get a pull to fit something like this saw? I am not finding anything on balys.

What are you looking for? What's a pull?

OT but similar: I got a Homelite '150 Auto', acres site says 1986, 16 inch in really nice exterios looking shape with good compression. No chain brake, and not a 'working tool' for me. anyone wants it, pay the shipping cost and its yours. donate some $4 to the site or to the ichfund if you would.

Posted on the want ads, but I messed up and deleted the post.

They were a pretty decent little saw. The compression release was overkill on a saw that size but the manual oiler and having controls the same as the bigger Homelites (Super XL's) was helpful once you built muscle memory using the bigger saws. I much prefered it to the 150 Auto. With a 16" bar they were really nice limbing and small firewood saws.

flywheel puller.

flywheel puller.

I usually just screw the nut flush and give it a couple whams with a hammer.

You are providing support behind the flywheel, right? If not aren't you risking damage to the bearings?

No, I just hold onto the flywheel with one hand and use the hammer in the other hand. You won't damage anything unless you 1) hit the flywheel or some other part of the saw by mistake or 2) use a huge hammer and wham at the crankshaft like John Henry.

i've also made pullers out of angle iron...drill two holes that align with the starter pawl holes on the flywheel...run a couple bolts thru the angle iron into the pawl holes, tighten them down a smidge and give the flywheel a little tap...and they almost always pop right off for me.

what type of flywheel puller you seeking ? ? would anyone for any saw work such as a McCulloch flywheel puller ?

 

[jhellwig]

I have done the tap the chrank style of pulling on briggs engines. Maybe I will try it on this.

I was rummaging about in an old shed where I live and lookie what I found. A homelite Super E-Z Auto.

Nice find.



You live in a shed?

 

[jhellwig]

The house is only in slightly better shape than the shed.
