HOMELITE Homelite Thread

If both are in equal condition the 2000 will have more value as long as the
piston is not scored. 1130's over the past few years have not been doing well
in sales. Don't know why but i have several and would sell one or two but
just can't get anything for them. They are great powerful saws and fun to
run. The 2000 can also be a fun saw to run although it's a direct drive saw
but with the 114cc's they pull very well.

Thanks Lee
The 1130's i have have never been run in wood more than a cut or two,but they have been stored for years and have shelf rash and a couple of numbers painted on them.
It is kinda neat having a pair,but it's a good chance to get another 100+CC saw that i don't have.

Can you post a pic of them.
An extremely clean 1130 may be worth more than the 2000.

 

[Yukon Stihl]

Here's a few both saws have about equal storage rash.
Extremely clean is probably being generous but they are nice,to bad they weren't stored a little better.These pic's are as found,no cleanup yet.
I have been looking them over trying to decide which one I'm going to keep,and there isn't much to pick one over the other.From what i remember they are about 150 saws apart off the line.

 

[Lee H]

Those are pretty nice. Nicer than the average 1130.
See if you can post a pic of the 2000.

 

[Yukon Stihl]

Haven't received any pictures of the 2000 yet.
Pretty sure 3.01 is the one that will be the one leaving,at some point.
Looked inside under the reed cages today and both are nice and shiny inside,less than 130 saws apart off the line.One had Walbro on the carb the other Homelite.
I'm off to Haines Alaska tomorrow,and may have some time to hunt saws.

Home lite 410 getting some finger ports

 

[Definitive Dave]

No, Not yet, You believe one bearing is holding me up.
Its a bearing that's proprietary to Homelite and i have
tried everyone i can think of to find one. And it was used
on many saws including all the wiz and super wiz's.


Lee

did you ever find this bearing?
if not send me the part number I have a homelite guy that isn't picked over at all with a strong inventory of old Homie parts
Dave

 

[Lee H]

Yes i did Dave. It took awhile but finally found one. Need a few other parts. Can i give you some part #'s or give me the Homelite guys contact info.

Thanks

G'day
I picked up an old homelite super wiz, anyone know how many cc this saw is?
Fires up with a shot of juice down the plug hole.
Also which model super wiz is it? super wiz66, super wiz80???
Any help appreciated, thanks

 

[Lee H]

Yours is just the plain Super Wiz. Made from 62 to 65 prior
to all the other Super Wiz's. The 66 came out just after your's.
Your's is a 77cc saw.

Aftermarket/commercial seal number(s) for crank seals on a Homelite 450?

 

[Motorhead]

Split the case and did a rebuild on it,last 410 for me.PITA.

 

[Milkman31]

I'm working on a ez with a leeking decomp any way to clean these up and make them reseal?

 

[KYsawman]

Just came across this nice 1965 xl automatic it is going to a good friend for his collection .

 

[KYsawman]

Here it is next to mine. Mine has defiantly had some more use than the one I found for my friend. It is nice to see some old iron in such good shape.

Use valve lapping compound on the stem/seat and increase the spring preload.

Any if you homie guys got a handle/cover unit for a xl2 layin around. Got a good power unit but saw looks like it lost a fight wuth a tree. Handle broke off. Got good starter but need oil cap and choke handle shroud as well as the handle unit to make a good runner
