The chain oil tank on my HOmelite C-9 is leaking. Last nite I had the fuel tank off working on that, and tightened the oil tank screw up on top by where the bolt goes into the housing for the handle. HOw do I tighten the other oil tank screws? Does I have to split the whole saw to get to them or what do I do. THere's got to be an easier way. I think they just vibrated loose and need to be tightened. Please help!!!!! Email is [email protected] if anyone has suggestions. Thanks a million!

Hang-on man, I have a C-91 about stripped down here...
I'll be back later.
Any problems with the seal on that? I might have something...

Here is an IPL for the c5. Should be similar.
Looks like the mounting screws would be accessible from the outside of the drivecase by the bar studs.

I would say that C-5 drawing is a very good description. It is held on by flat-head screws (5). I think 5 I'm still cleaning... Hell I might as well build this thing now... I tried numbering the screws on this poor picture. Sorry bout the time.
Would it be dis-tasteful to make this thing 100cc? Well, hang on... I lose a few cc on the shortened stroke... comes out to about 95cc... Heck I only gain 10cc.
With a C-72 I gain 15-ish, but take away the gasket... and I have some interesting scavenging numbers here. I do lose some compression... Slip in a Bosch plug to help that... Hmm.

SO all I should have to do is tighten these five screws since the gasket looks good. AM I correct. It looks that way in the pictures. I'll take a look at it tonite after work hopefully. Thanks for taking the time to help me out, it is truly appreciated!

I consider it an obligation to the helpful folk here that were me when I was you.
