Homelite EZ auto

[Jasonrkba]

Hello everyone. I'm working on an old Homelite EZ automatic. I need help with a part I'm trying to locate. The fuel line to the gas tank runs through a rubber grommet, I need to replace that grommet. Is it just a standard grommet or do I need to use a specific part number. Here is a couple pictures to help.

Thanks. Jason.

Your first picture is actually an oil line, grommet is mainly for looks. The one in the fuel tank can probably be had on ebay or a good hardware store but you'll have to measure the hole.

I posted that one for the model number.
The saw is in decent shape so I'll update when I can.
Thanks guys.

I have her all buttoned up and ready to add gas just gotta go get some. I'll try this week but in the meantime. Based off of the serial number can anyone tell how old this thing is?

Thanks. Jason.

They where made from 1969-1972. I have one as well. If you want to sell that one let me know

Yours appears to be one of the older ones unless some of the exterior parts were changed. The newer ones have a black plastic air filter cover and a plastic starter cover and also has electronic ignition. Newer ones also have a brush guard on the top of the handlebar, kinda like a chain brake handle and the handlebar is rubber padded.

Great saws. I have the blue version. Cut LOTS of fire wood with that saw

Your saw was made on Mar.1,1973,it was the 254th unit made that day.

Awesome! Thanks guys.

I was gonna upload you a pic of my newer one but I've changed so many parts on it that it would just add to the confusion.

The later ones are called super ez auto

Good to know, my friend came across one that was about to go to the scrap yard. He grabbed it and gave it to me. I put some fuel in it and it fired right up. It doesn't have the correct chain on it so I need to find the right chain for it. I think the automatic oil isnt working but other wise runs real good. These little saw have pretty impressive power for the size that they are. For 37cc they have more power than a current 37cc chainsaw would

I've heard of some guys putting a 20 in bar on them,they have a lot of torque.

 

[Jasonrkba]

OMG this thing is loud.
I got it to run for a few seconds and then shuts off. I haven't touched the carb so guess that's next. And this one came with a 20 inch Homelite bar.

 

[Eric howes]

They claim biggest bar you should put on it is a 18". What is on your for a chain? Mine is really loud as well. Almost sounds like a dirtbike

 

[edju1958]

Back when those saws were made Homelite didn't have an 18 in. bar.It was either 14,16,or 20 in.bars.Homelite didn't start producing 18 in.bars till the '90's,by that time the SEZ's were out of production.I don't believe that there's an 18 in.bar that'll fit the mounting pattern.That's most likely why you have a 20 in.bar on yours.I also believe that the later made SEZ's were 41 cc.

I just finished a poulan that had a 10 inch bar/chain. First I've seen outside of a pole saw.

Maybe it was recommended bar length was 16", I cant exactly remember. I'd have to research it again
