Homelite Super 1130G Is Here. Got??s

[Beer Gut]

This is overall pics. Had been sitting awhile, bought because I wanted one. All I knew was pics and it ran several years ago. I did only basic tests. Drop for comp I get tired before the bottom and give up. Clean as hell. Carb looks great on outside almost new, concern. But I will say auto, and manual oiler works great. Tank was DESERT bone dry put in some HP Ultra 50:1 maybe 6 pulls and running. Let her idle for 5 min, perfect. Boy these old girls pop and crack. Few blips seems perfect. More pics coming. And ?s

Bar measures 63" OAL and chain is .500 and sharp. Doesn't look like it was ever sharpened, like Stihl RM style. Bar was well taken care of good kerf, not ground, and no bellys.

Here's how I got got under filter. Only concern so far is this looks new. Ok if done right. 3rd? Air filter is pretty gummed up, it's so cold all old oil is like TAR, wanna clean it should I soak in Dawn or just us break cleaner and blow out?

IDK about blowing it out with high pressure air but spray carb cleaner through all the ports.

Don`t use any carb cleaner on painted surfaces, it makes good paint stripper. 10W oil in the gearcase is all we ever used. Regular paint thinner," not laquer thinner or acetone", will soften and remove any residual oil buildup without damaging the paint.

If my memory is correct, Homelite recommended sae 90 oil in the gearcase.
I use 75-90 synthetic in all my geardrives.
Don't use carb or brake cleaners as you can damage the decals and paint. I
wouldn't use any harsh detergents either like simple green, greased lighting,
purple power, etc as they will remove the decals and can hurt paint. I have a
safety kleen parts washer that works well and won't hurt paint or decals.

That's a very nice saw. It's a very late production one with the hand guard.
Have fun with it.

Dawn and water in a spray bottle does wonders too
