Hello HOH, My 1970 E-Z 250 that is mostly refurbished with the exception of a few NOS parts, a restored factory guide bar with a Sugarcreek stencil kit and missing only two decals. 99% homelite original parts with two parts handmade; outer guide bar plate and cam cover. And for sale too. Steve More photos here: s129.photobucket.com/user/Supercharged86/slideshow/1970%20Homelite%20E-Z%20250 |

Nice work.
I love those chrome starter grilles. I had one on a Super Mini SL.

Looks great! What is the wire sticking out above the clutch housing? Hi Sweepleader, The "swing out" wire loop was a built in tachometer, so Homelite called it. It's attached to the underside of the air filter cover and is tucked in under the right side. It was used (at least in theory) to properly set the idle speed. According to the special instruction booklet that I have with the saw, the correct idle speed is between 2700-2800 rpm. At this rpm, the little wire loop vibrates/oscillates up and down the most/widest thus indicating the correct setting. It's pretty mesmerizing to watch. I guess the idea wasn't much of a success because I'm not aware of them using it on any of the other saw lines around this time frame, especially the Super EZ's, which the E-Z 250 was the precursor for. Cheers. Steve |

The E-Z 250 that I had in my possession for about three years has been sold and is off to a new home in Illinois. Hope the new owner enjoys it.

It was total shear luck that clutch cover with decals showed up on ebay AFTER buying the saw. Hi Greg, I was kind of wondering if you were on here somewhere. It looks like maybe you just got started, but glad you stopped in. I would love to see the saw with the new clutch cover installed! Cheers. Steve ps. As if collecting nice vintage chainsaws wasn't expensive enough, it looks like we also share another expensive hobby! How's the '70 Chevelle running? |
