    I'm just looking on CL and spotted this Homelite, not sure what model it is?

    On my tiny phone, it looks like an early 800 or 900 series saw.

    Looking at the saw. The rear handle is a 900 series handle made after the 901 - 904 series saws. Same with the manual oil pump plunger mounted on the rear instead of the right side of the air box. I haven't seen pics of any of the later 900 series saws with the green paint on the recoil starter or early ones with the rubber on the front handle bar. I suspect it's a later 900 series saw with an older 800 or early 900 starter cover.

    Here's a link to the 4th edition repair manual which gives some info on ignition types and various other features on the various larger frame saws in that family. That may help you to positively ID the model number.
