Hi, Seeing if anyone has a recoil for a homelite zip as I haven’t had any luck finding one. Is the saw a zip or zip b? The recoils are the same except the zip b housing face is smooth. I'm pretty sure the 2 will interchange.

The saw is a Zip no letter in front of the serial # but it does have the flat housing.

Ok that information is priceless as I did not no they would interchange thank you I "think" the 2 will interchange, but I better do some comparing. Is your recoil missing parts?

I'll take a closer look at my parts saws tomorrow. If I find something, I'll let you know. Zips are fairly common. Something should turn up.

I looked all through my saw salvage yard. Sorry to say I don't have a zip recoil assembly.

Did you find the Zip parts you need? I know an old dealer whose Dad was a Homelite dealer. He had a garage full of old saws, I bought 19 from him for $10-$20 each. I'm pretty sure he has a Zip in the garage. Next time I go past his shop I'll stop and see.

That would be very awesome of you I really hope he does my kids bought the Zip for my birthday I have taken it apart and I’m restoring it. Only thing missing is the recoil but a parts saw would be fantastic.

I'm going to my place in WV this coming weekend. If he's in I'll pick it up. He has an Original EZ there also, I've been putting off getting those two because they were missing parts, don't remember what was missing. Where are you located?

Don't know if I can make it to WV tomorrow? If I do, I know the zip does not have a bar, or I would have taken it. It might be missing other parts. If it has the recoil I'll get it. If not I'll take pics. The saw will be $20. Shipping would be about $35. Is it worth it?

I went up Sunday and he wasn’t there. I know I can’t go next weekend. If I can make a day trip up I’ll let you know. Do you know if any other recoil swaps with that one? It says it’s in the Early EZ family. He has several old ones left that are missing something, that’s why I haven’t gotten them yet. I’ve got one more idea. I gave a guy a complete Zip a few years ago, he may have some parts left.
