Homelite Chainsaws

Meteor typically uses Caber rings in their kits. Get your measurements and check for Cabers.

Ok, Can you tell how to measure for rings. Do you take the measurements from the ring grove? Or the ring it's self?

Measure the cylinder bore diameter with a dial caliper. Measure the ring groove width with same.

working on an EZA. Got two glaring problems.
anyone got any tips on how to install the grommet for the fuel line into the tank? tight space.
also, its got a walbro hdc on which the circuit plate is totally stuck. this thing sat for don't-know-how-long with stinky fuel. got it soaking in solvent right now but not confident its gonna work
any help greatly appreciated.
thanks,
jerry

Jerry, boil some water and drop the body in it and take it out when it cools off. Make sure the high and low screws are out of it before dropping it in. If the plate is just stuck to the gasket, it should let go.

 

[jerrycmorrow]

thanks for the replys. the 24-hour solvent soak did the job. now to get the grommet on

Homelite experts, have a question. Looking at a 340, which I know is made by Solo. Had a 330 and am wondering if the 340 is any better? I know the 330 is a reed valve saw and isn't anti vibe whereas the 340 is antivibe and not a reed valve design, plus has a chainbrake. If the 340 is a better saw might it fit between the 330 and 360?

I don't have one but looking through the threads they seem finicky and are prone to ignition failure. Parts are apparently very expensive. One guy said Solo wanted $60 for a fuel line.

I rebuilt a 330 couple years ago- New rings, new boot, plugs, lines, carb kit, etc - now it won't start. Will start with fuel in the carb but won't pull fuel from tank. Rebuilt carb again including pulling welch plug and insuring the progression ports aren't plugged.
Can't figure out why it won't pull fuel
It's got two lines to the carb. One from fuel tank - new filter; the other??? Is it an impulse line? Really need an IPL and any info others have experienced with this misogynistic POS
Service manual is no help
Be advised that I was studiously careful when rebuilding this. It ran well right afterward but after sitting for couple years it won't start. Only ever had non ethanol in it.

I have an 026 doing same deal. Have to give it a dribble of fuel to start after it sits several days. Rebuilt carb. Restarts after he is warmed up in one pull.

I had a 340 and passed it to a member here before I left Va. I think it may be a better saw but as Tim points out parts are an issue.

 

[Deererainman]

Wrong color for me, thought I'd pass along.

Looks real clean.

One of my favourite Homelite models, 1050 super, ive got 2 of these in my collection, this one could use a bigger bar.

Here is my gem. An old super xlao. I cleaned up the intake after the reeds, and cleaned up the transfers a bit.

So. I thought you could embed a video from photo bucket, but it looks like it's not working, so here's a link. Click the photo, or link. Whichever it may be

Felt compelled to buy this critter at an auction today. Never seen one with a chain brake......not sure if it runs. Based off arm compression it should run.

And, it has a primer/purge bulb. Really an uptown saw.
