Withdrawn Homelite 7-29 cylinder and piston kit

[NorthernLonewolf]

I got myself a Homelite 7-29. The only problem is that it is in a way a "Frankensaw", as it seemigly has a Homelite 5-30 cylinder and piston. I measured with a caliper the piston stroke and cylinder bore, and they both point to a 5-30.

So if anybody is sitting on a Homelite 7-29 parts saw (non-running) or has a spare cylinder and piston kit to sell, please do not hesitate to contact me.

*BUMP*

Still on the hunt for this. Anyone?

That will be a very tough part to locate

I made some measurements on the cylinder and piston with a caliper. These are the results. May come from a Homelite 26LCS, or anything 109cc/6.63 cu. in. from a Homelite saw.

If you think one from a 26LCS will fit then I might be able to help you.

I sooner use a 5-30 top end. However, according to Acres the 26lcs and 5-30s are 1.5" stroke, 7-29 is 1.625. That will be a no-go.

I'm getting curious as to what engine my 7-29 really has, and how many parts are different from an original 7-29. Does anyone know how many parts that can differ?

 

[cbfarmall]

The IPLs are out there. Compare part numbers to see where the differences begin and end. I will say the tanks, covers and wrap handles will easily swap. Not sure about the rear handle/filter/carb assembly. Probably, the belt drive case will bolt on.

I made a final measurement of the cylinder, and it was 108 cc/6.6 cu. in.

 

[cbfarmall]

So, you have a 26LCS motor. Not sure what to tell you except you ought to to be able to stick a 5-30 top end on there.

I've got hold of one. I changed the subject of this thread to "Withdrawn".
