Update on one of the 330's

[Jarhead ☠]

I took one of the saws apart to start working on it and yes the carb boot was destroyed but it appears that the saw was hardly if ever used. Look at the piston and exhaust port...spotless!

Wow,that is pristine! I thougt my saw was clean,but yours beats mine by far.Mine also looked like yours does in about a hundred pieces.Lol I had it apart for about 2 weeks & I decided to start putting it together just a couple of hrs.ago.It's kinda rough trying to figure out where everything goes after it's been apart for a couple of weeks,but it isn't that difficult.If you get lost there are a couple of good videos out there on YouTube to help in getting it back together.

So I got both of the 330's going, 1 was torn down and replaced carb boot, fuel lines and carb kit. The other saw was starting on prime so attached my external fuel tank and it started after a bit of coaxing so I attached the fuel line added gas and nothing!
Took the old gummy fuel line out and slid in a new Tygon fuel line and she started right up.
I have a laundry list of items I purchased awaiting Loen's return to civilization and I will anyway replace the 2nd saws carb boot since I already purchased it.
I'm now the proud owner of 2 fully functional and cosmetically clean Homelite 330's.

Those turned out great!

I have been keeping my eye out, I currently don't have any of the 300/400/500/600/700 series saws.

I just posted this elsewhere but my 330's are fantastic!
