Chainsaw Pics...

In the mid 60's Homelite was building the best power saws !

 

Nice Jar' O' Carbs on your workbench.

 

I’ve got 4 like that . Sorted by type .
Well , the 488 has a roached P&C . Straight gassed , the intake and exh. side scored . Besides that , All it needs a couple of small parts . Gonna find a non EPA carb for it as well . He HDA on there only has a low side adjustment .

 

Happy Birthday, just hit a milestone here as well. How's that thing run? Cut any cookies?

 

Carrot Cake!
HBTY 2!

 

You're not supposed to look at the homemade go-cart, but at the Titon power-saw motor I powered it with.

 

Picked this one up back during the winter and it’s been awaiting assembly. It was a mint 590 that had a bad p/c. So why not rebuild with a 620p p/c and stick a full wrap on it?!

Before.... After......

 

After messing with a tiller and getting hooked up with a fix by J. Dirt , I answered an add for this guy. Wouldn’t start.
Got there and had next to no compression, but the piston didn’t look to bad. I’ve seen way worse.






Really clean homeowner saw. Just had a broken ring. Replaced it and compression went from 30 to 155psi. Even got a Tillotson rebuild kit with it.

 

Glad you got to it before it ate the ring!!!

 

If I remember right those husky 61's were pretty strong running saws.

 

Cool stuff that came with the saw. Pics don’t do it justice

 

I really like using those Carlton File-O-Plates. They do a great job as file guides.

This is hilarious. Should bring it with you when cutter with others. "I dunno guys, we might need a bigger saw" (walks to truck and pulls out paper saw) "Let me introduce you to White Lightning."

 

Scored this one today
Can’t wait to clean it up.
Recoil is tight
Little dirty. That’s it, so far.

 

M2theB That's a nice find!

 

Thanks.
Sold as a saw that didn’t run.
Did a little cleaning and replaced the pull cord and new fuel.



I’ll check for leaks and give it a good cleaning.

 

M2theB , rapidly becoming the “you suck” king of FHC seriously though nice score. Don’t know what you had to give for it, but knowing you it wasn’t much

 

Cleaned up pretty nice.
And came wearing an 8 pin rim sprocket.
Wonder if that’s how it came new.
Despite it being advertised as used in logging, it is seems very stock an unused.
Touched up the chain. It’s a strong saw.

 

New saw for birthday. I have to build a new shelf to but it on or install a log tree saw holder like T Jeff has in his new shed.

 

Got this in yesterday, 10-10 Mac . Won’t run , leaks bar oil , chain comes loose , chip guard and some screws missing . Runs now , waiting on a couple of parts to finish it .
