HOMELITE Homelite Thread

I picked up the 038 because @tickbitintn needs the intake parts. Rest of it is up for grabs. I can go back and look for others, but his stuff is pretty picked over and rough.

How about the top handle Stihls?

I’ll go back and take pic next time I’m there. You want to message me your phone number and I will text the pics to you?

This 2000E was part of a large group purchase of saws and parts that I bought several years ago. It was a pile of parts on a workbench that I scraped into a box and put up in my mezzanine storage and let sit for four years. The previous owner had taken it apart to clean and paint it. I decided to put it back together and see if all the parts were there and if it would run.

That's the horizontal cylinder ,reed valve strong point .They aren't lightning fast but they are bull strong .Just so you know that saw, second cousin to my avatar saw will do that with 4 feet of bar buried .You've got yourself a classic with that one .

This seems to be the story with most older homelite saws, low rpm 7-8000 and all kinds of lugging power. Even a super xl will keep pulling on longer bars in big wood. Not fast just steady pull for 58cc.

Got 3 homelite super xl’s and a David Bradley from my aunt and uncle. He’s no longer able to run saw and they were either coming to my house or making their final trip to the dump. This one runs excellent and yeah i know it’s a new saw as far as these go has a zama carb on it.

This 2000E...

Couldn't help but notice your superb job on that chain, too.

Also kinda nice that the previous owner never got around to painting it.

The large ones,2000- 2100 were west coast fellers back in the day with the large McCullochs ..If a conversation comes up regarding which is faster I really can't say .However some time this summer I plan on a test run on some dead standing 3 feet plus shag bark hickory that will be hard as concrete using the avatar saw, a Mac 125C and a Stihl 084 .

The 084 should be faster with a 36" bar. I know my stock 088 was faster than my sp125 but put a 50 or 60 inch bar on the saws buried in big wood and the torque of the Mac's & Homie's will shine over a stock 123cc Stihl.
I think my 125 was faster in big wood than the 2100 & 750's I had. I much prefered the way the 125 handled personally over the Homelites. To me the Homelites handled like an old 1950's truck. The 125 and even the 797, feel more like a good handling muscle car.. I like the ease of maintanence of a Homelite over the Mac though.

Would this super xl be electronic ignition?

Yes. That's a late production SXL-AO. Should be late enough that it has the 'good' black module electronic ignition rather than the earlier blue module 'candle in a windstorm' electronic ignition.

picture of the same saw as I posted above

Is it normal to have that much of the bar slot exposed?
would it still have adjustment left?

 

[Maintenance Chief]

So Homelite is usually like McCulloch in tooth count in that 70dl for 20" bar ,they might have a 72dl on that bar.

XL2
Ya know in the shop manual where it says to be careful when removing the handle cover so as not to break the tab? Well I broke the tab. Anyone got one they’d part with?

Parting out, @Maintenance Chief has dibs on a PnC
