I have two SEZA saws, one says E6117 and no other numbers, the other says E7123 UT 104313, both have chrome screen starter covers. A third SEZA I have says UT 10403A and serial number 202630330 and it has a plastic starter cover. Any idea of the years of these saws? Thanks Alain

202630330 Would be: 2? 0-1980, 263-Sep 19th, 0330- 330th unit that day
I can't say on the other two.

A third SEZA I have says UT 10403A and serial number 202630330 and it has a plastic starter cover. Any idea of the years of these saws? Thanks Alain Hi Alain, When Homelite switched from a 7 digit to 8 digit serial number around 1969/1970 and incorporated the build date into the serial number this made dating the saw very easy. But for whatever reason, some saws, did not come through with serial numbers per se, but instead only had UT and Lot numbers inscribed. I've had several Super EZ's that did not come with the traditional UT and Serial number tag. Some had the Lot and Serial numbers and others have had Lot and UT number tags. So your first two saws with E6117 and E7123 (UT 104313-last built in 1980) are lot numbers, which according to Homelite service bulletins, is suppose to be the first part of the serial number, but this doesn't always seem to play out correctly. What I would do here is pull the carburetors and check the Walbro date stamp in the carb body. Generally speaking the HDC carburetor was always dated a few months before the build date of the saw. This will give you an approximate build date. As a side note, Homelite started to cheapen up the Super EZ right around 1980 with the introduction of the plastic air cover first. Then by 1981 (until it's final build year of 1986) all Super EZ's came with both the plastic air filter cover and the plastic starter cover. PS. UT# 104313 and UT#10403A were last built in 1980 (which checks out correctly for your third saw) |

Thanks a bunch Steve, I'll check my carbs and make notations in my maintenance binder I keep on all saws. BTW, would my EZ Automatic red and white model 10104 serial number 10340786 also be a 1980?

Alain, the "EZ" model basically preceded the SEZ and it continued to be produced until 1974. As you can see the two saws are nearly identical. The EZ manual had 2.1cc, EZ Auto was 2.3cc and the SEZ and EZ-250 had 2.5cc's. Your particular saw was made on the 34th day of 1971 which coincides with UT 10104 which was last built in 1971. UT 10100 &10101 (other EZ's) were built until 1974. |

If you have the newer style pulley it's a LOT easier than the one I was working on in the video, but they are all doable with a little patience!

I think mine is the newer style....it's not the one in the video.....it's tan plastic with notches on one side....and a bigger hole on the other....it seems like the knot from the rope catches the spring?.....thank's for help.....i'll play with |
