This is on my "auction bought 330". Noticed this during reassembly. I also noticed when I tipped the saw around after I first go it that it was leaking gas. Is this why or maybe the gas cap? (remember I'm a wannabe collector) Hey I just noticed I've become a dumpster diver! Very appropriate   |

The hole's for a duckbill valve. The valve vents air in and keeps gas from leaking out.

Thanks Dan,
I guess I'm going to have to get a parts list. I googled duckbill valve and a few showed up but I wouldn't know for sure if I have the right one?

Ebay "Homelite duckbill or duck bill" and you will find plenty. They're all the same. Make sure you get more than one because I guarantee that you will need more down the line. They are cheap and the shipping does not go up on multiples.

Pretty sure you can go to jackssmallengines, m-and-d, or several other online parts stores and find the 330 parts list online. If you can't, let me know and I'll email you a copy.

(remember I'm a wannabe collector) Hey I just noticed I've become a dumpster diver! Very appropriate Be careful when re-installing your case screws. There are some that are longer than others and WILL punch an unwelcome hole in that tank. I had a saw shop that could not solve an oiler problem and returned the saw to me leaking gas. That was actually the reason I found HOH. |

I will be careful. I thought the case screws were the longest ones, but now I know one more thing to watch out.
Dan, appreciate your offer. Found the IPL over at another saw forum.

Maybe I just thought if was a forum?  I got my duckbill valve today!! I'll let you know when I've got this thing running. On a side note, how tight should I adjust the chain on the bar? I'm off to the search function. Thanks KW |
