HOMELITE Homelite Thread

[Maintenance Chief]

Here's an od one? Pulled the gov valve on my original carburetor.

As you can see it's a solid piece of brass , no ball and spring?

 

[Maintenance Chief]

Did homelite make a kit for these carburetors?

 

[Maintenance Chief]

So I put a round piece of copper foil in the bottom of the governor port and reinstalled the blank valve. No luck!

 

[Maintenance Chief]

so as a comparison of 2 HS carbs, gasket 1 is an HS26 non gov( I believe original app is for an xl-800 type saw).
The middle one is the gov. HS51.
Then on top a regular XL-12 sdc.

 

[Maintenance Chief]

notice on the bottom of the carburetors there is a port machined in the governor HS51 but not the non-govern one.

 

[Maintenance Chief]

when sprayed with cleaner it intersects with a venturi hole and a low jet port under the Welch plug.

The non governor carb has the same venturi port.
I'm thinking that it's an open air hole in the governor carburetor to work as a emulsion air bleed when the governor dumps fuel?
I'm gonna block it in the HS51 I've modified.

Is the SXL-925 piston available?

Is the SXL-925 piston available?

Yes through little red barn, 82cc model not the 77cc. Every once in a while you may find one on ebay.
The LBR piston will need clearanced usually between the wrist pin posts and on the skirt for the crank throws.

Made some spacers out our stainless pipe for the muffler bolts, not paying 6 $ a shoulder bolt.
Made a spark screen out of stainless.

I also found a shaft lying next to the muffler on the table and I don't know where it ended up under the starter housing

the ole 650 fires off with a prime, and has a mean sound to it, but it wont stay running, so I'm not sure what I am going to do with this saw, or even why I bought it, but I had to ask about it when I saw it today, I paid $200 for it, I think it would probably sell for that if I needed to sell it

$200 is a good deal.

The fact it has most of the paint still on it and fires on prime means it probably won't need much to get going. Might be a low hours gem.

started to remove the carb and noticed the boot is rotten, so I put it back together and ordered a carb kit and a new boot, I will get back to it when parts show, but so far this saw appears to be in good shape and oughta clean up nicely.

Ya boots are pretty typical to need replacing on that series Homelite. I had to replace the boot on the 360 I was working on.

After a little over a year of looking all over, finally have a good supply of new old stock homelite bars for my CS 900 EVL. No thanks to those goofy light-weight bars on an old muscle saw. Love those old solid bars!

But they're too heavy, you can't whine as much.few more years and people will be wanting plastic bars to go with their plastic saws and candy ass's

I run skip chain on my 18" bar, customized with five links between each cutter....because sharpening chain just takes too long. And yes, I run this on my Tonka saw...
