I’ve been working on a freebie saw for about a month, finally getting near the end. Got some new parts coming in. Will post pics soon. I started a thread under ignition system-find air gap if anyone wants to see where I started.

SPARK!!! I set the gap at .008 and got spark. Now I finally feel like I’m getting somewhere. I now know that the coil that was on saw is not the coil this machine was supposed to have. The killswitch terminal was too big for the new killswitch wire I bought. This is why the terminal end was spliced on with a wire nut. So the new coil worked out. Thanks to everyone for your help. I’ll have more questions in the fuel system threads.

Leon, imagine this saw was yellow and black. Look familiar?

There is a memo on this model about hard starting, and they offered replacement modules and a rotor. It in the 2001 memos.

Well for some reason the 2001 memos are not on Leon’s site. Either I didn’t send them or he didn’t post them. I only have the 1 memo so here it is.   |

Thanks for the post! I havent had any trouble starting it since i fired it up. It sounds good, i just need to make some carb adjustments. Its a neat saw and im really glad to get it done. I got an old craftsman(free) to work on now, but i think im hooked on the old homelites and look forward to finding an antique to bring back to life. Thank y'all for all your contributions. Leon, i hope to do some more business with you soon. |
