Chainsaw Repair

Just thought I would add to this thread on the Homelite Super EZ Automatic.  This a freeby that I got because the owner did not want to spend the money on getting it running.    I rebuilt the carb which has a Walbro HDC.  The saw is 40.9cc and the automatic oiler and manual oiler both work great.  It is a reed valve engine with points.   I also had to replace the fuel line and filter which runs up behind the recoil assembly.   The saw is completely original and came stock with 3/8ths chain.   How cool is that.    I put it in some wood and with a sharp chain it cuts pretty darn good.   I did notice the idle drifting some but at the high end it is rock steady and 4 strokes great and transitions to 2 stroke.    I think I will just run it a bit to see if it clears up any.

The ax is a Collins that I picked up and put a handle on it.   It has a really broad cutting edge which I liked.
