I picked up a Homelite XL (Homelite Textron) on Craigslist. It has some missing parts. Model 105074, Serial # 780400566, Walbro HDC-42 carb

Missing Parts:
High speed adjustment screw and spring
Top handle broken beyond repair
Chain bar chain guide
duck valve, fuel and oil tank (tiny brass tube and oil pickup filter found at bottom of oil tank)
stud for cutting is stripped

All but the carb high speed screw seem to be available. No part number is listed for this adjustment screw. Any help would be great.

Are there any other carbs that will work with saw?

If I tape over the high speed hole would it start? If it will fire I would try to restore it if it's not to expensive.

Thanks for listening.

It's possible that Leon,our administrator,might have the needle & spring,if not go onto the Walbro site & look up the carb.There will be listed every part & the part #,but it'll be a Walbro part #.ReparClinic.com & ereplacement.com carry a lot of these parts.

The HDC-42 carb has a fixed high jet. No hi mix needle on that model.

I'm assuming that's what you are referring to.

Thanks for quick reply. You made me a very happy camper.

Now I can put it back together and see if it will fire up.

I tried that but they didn't show a part number.

I checked Leon's store out and he has some of the parts I need.

Thanks for the info.
