thats right. I put some links to them in the description incase anyone needs to get one. those things come in handy for sure. Its a must have if you have lawn care equipment.
All you need to do is to fix the wires and then tune the carb by increasing the idle speed then turn the low idle adjustment till it runs. then find where the highest idle speed in the low screw (the sweet spot) then turn it left 1/4 to 1/2 turn. then lower your idle speed screw till the chain stops moving. and then go to the high idle speed adjustment and turn it right in 1/4 turn steps until it doesn't bog and has good response to throttle (if its necessary). if you don't get it just look up a video.
i literally found 3 chainsaws on the road side. some one threw out . 2 homelites and a craftsman 42cc. i got them all running replacing various parts. some people just dont have the patients.
@@GreenThumbEngines Hell yes. Snagged an ms 066 like this, what a saw. All it needed was fresh fuel, new fuel lines, fuel filter and a carb kit. Runs like new. Feels good man. Keep at it
I got one of those from my dad that had very few hours on it. I dribbled fuel into the carb and it fired up ran wide open until it burned all the fuel. I thought the needle and seat was stuck so I cleaned and rebuilt the carb. Then it would start but screamed wide open. That is when I noticed the plastic piece that the carb mounts to was loose. I pulled the screws out and the gasket behind it was nearly gone.it was sucking air. Looking into it this is extremely common not only with the homelite but John Deere that is almost just like it. They no longer make this gasket. You have to get NOS and they want almost as much as the saw is worth.
damn. at least it started. and yeah that sucks, since this machine is old, might as well get a brand new updated one. because parts for this homelite chainsaw is scarce. you are barely going to find the exact parts needed for this saw. which sucks. because this chainsaw is built pretty damn well. but cool to hear your story. made my day.
The tool needed for this saw is called a pac man it's carburetor adjustment driver, but you can a whole set. I have all of them from HIPPA, man I paid 50$ for my set. I've made so much money from these tools, they've paid for themselves many times. Well worth it
That's so awesome. I used to use these same tools before and make a living from it. I saved $3,500 once in a short amount of time and that was the most money I ever saved in my whole life and it was from cutting grass. I can't do it now. I physically have the worst health problem ever. It's effecting my breathing and communication and other parts too like my head. You're so lucky you can make money. Stay blessed friend. Thank you for reaching out. There's nothing like a connection between people.
Damn. Would seem weird to do, unless they got some tiny ass Dremel head. Almost like a point to carve a line on it. Lol taking it back to medieval times. A fucking black smith and shit lmao
Did you ever get it running? The tool you need is a carb adjustment tool that you can get on Ebay for around $12 & it comes with 3 different tools. (Pac man, Splined & Double D)
Yeah. many people on here referred me to the same carb adjustment tool. i havent bought it yet, but i did get it running. it starts up on like the second pull with the choke. it wroks and cuts through wood good hands down. i got that thing from craigslist from a guy. he gave me the box with it and some oil too and it came with the manual. i love that saw.
I just went on ebay and searched Pack Man tool used to adjust carburetor on a Homelite chainsaw and it came back save search nothing matched search now what is that Big Ray ?
Got the same chainsaw for $20 bucks, can't get it running. Replaced fuel lines, fuel filter ,cleaned carb, fresh 40:1 fuel. Checked for spark. Maybe i just need a whole new carb? Wasn't clear at the end when u had it running if that was the case or not? If replacing the carb was the solution? Was it?
Well. Does it turn on at least? If it turns on and shuts back off after doing all that, you might just need a new carburetor and it will crank on and stay on. That’s what happened with mine like you asked. All it needed was a new carburetor.
I cant remember if i got a new carburetor or not. I think i did. but I think in the video, it had the original carb on it and i was trying to tune it up ---- The way i took the carb off was by taking off the black cover on top. i think it has 3 screws. then I unplugged the spark plug boot, and took off the air filter and then the fuel lines and carburetor. If i didnt show it in the video, looks like im going to have to make a video step by step on how to do it. Is that what you need, a carburetor?
Do you have the Pac-Man carburetor adjusting screwdriver tool? I had to order an entire set on eBay that comes with different styles cuz I have different machines.
I'm having trouble w/ a small Homelite chainsaw. Starts easy, but only runs on full choke & barely cracked open choke. Fixed a few things: new primer bulb, cleaned spark arrester, checked carb; its clean, blew out fuel filter w/ compressed air; same crap. Any ideas? Thanks
sounds interesting. I would disassemble everything and pull off the head and see how the top of the piston looks and scrape it to bare metal if it looks black and dry. Same with the head. Inside, it might be black and dry, or black and wet.
Or maybe you can try messing with the carburetor screws and use a carburetor tuning tool to tune it to stay on with the choke off. It’ll take some patience long as you crank it on and start tuning it while listening to how it sounds as you’re turning or rotating the screws. Take it off choke while you’re doing that to get it all sounding and running good in idle and on the throttle too.
Yeah i know, seen sometrhing like that on ebay. i think its called a homelite carburetor adjustment tool. I think mine has the D fitment. before i found out about the tool, i went and ordered another carburetor from this guy and it came in mail. luckily its the one i need and this has the flat head tip on the carb to adjust the revs and idles. but im going to buy that adjustment tool youre talking about because this carb is still good, just needs to be adjusted. i was actually using it yesterday to cut a bush down, but then the chainsaw started boggin down and shut off. so then i used my polesaw to finish everything off. i need that adjustment tool now to fix it haha
All you need to do is to replace the bottom diaphragm in the carburator . 10 dollars for ten diaphragm on amazon. It will last for a year then redo it next year
That is true. I actually have some links in the description of the video for parts to this chainsaw. But to fix this problem, you just simply buy a new carburetor kit, then you won't have to tune it like I did, and you won't need to replace the diaphragm either. The carburetor kit comes with everything equipped to be installed right out the box. That's like the biggest lifesaver in the world. It should be in the description for anyone that needs a carburetor to this exact machine.
Yeah my echo weed eater had that clogged spark arrestor problem. It wouldn’t even stay on when I cranked it and the engine sounded so low and quiet. I took the muffler off and saw the screen was black and dry so I cleaned it and cranked it on and it was so damn loud like I just bought it. But for this chainsaw that wasn’t the case
yes i think i placed some links to the carburetor adjustment tool in the description. im not sure. but the owner probably didnt know anything about it. he sold it to me for really cheap. cant remember the price, maybe its in the video. but this was a long time ago. i have the tools now for it. and it still works till this day. i love this chainsaw.
It still ain't running quite right get you the tuning tools turn both screws all the way in then turn them out approximately 1 turn and then crank it and see how it revs if it bogs at low RPMs turn your low screw out a bit then Revit good high and adjust the high screw go wide open for a second then take it back down just a touch
Its so crazy because I just used it to trim down some mango branches. It works pretty good. This thing lasts, and the video is old too. Not sure how long the guy who had it before me but it wasn’t working when he gave it to me. Ever since I got it working I been using it like crazy

You need a special tool to adjust the carburetor on a chainsaw it's called a packman tool which the government has made illegal to purchase but I don't think you no enough about it to get or need one. No disrespect intended...
you should tell the guys who manufactured the adjustment tool lol if its illegal to purchase, a shit ton of people are buying without even knowing the information you're sharing. I guess... thanks for the disclaimer. lol
theses take a splined screw... (www.amazon.com/Carburetor-adjustment-Hexagon-21-Teeth-Screwdriver/dp/B01EQRY36E/ref=sr_1_4?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1529698322&sr=1-4&keywords=small+engine+screwdriver+set )quite annoying but get yourself on of these sets there really handy to have around use them all the time to tune yard tools.. as of the chainsaw i will defiantly be using this video for reference. a friend gave me and older model like this and ive been playing around with it for a while now and no luck
Couldnt get it to start at all untill last night, was having a problem with the pull start tightening. then it seemed like the pull starter wasnt even engaging the panels which it still doent feel right but its running just had to play with the low end carb screw it was just pretty tuchy and had to but pretty well tuned just to start... Works now though, the vid helped and got me to work on it again. Thanks for the video. Btw the screw is a Pac man style screw not splined... Still would grab that set... Come in handy when you have a stubborn carb lol.
Yeah thats a pretty good set. looks like it comes with all the screw drivers to all the different types of carbs. thats definitely worth it. i am for sure getting that of which you sent me. thank you. out of that set, i have the double d. but seeing that makes me want that set for every damn occasion lol thanks very much
People who are not either experts or at least well educated in the mechanical operation on these things should NOT be posting videos. You can’t explain chainsaw engine dynamics with words like “this thing” and “that thing” ??? So many people damage their equipment because they watch videos of someone who knows just enough to get himself in trouble !!!
How are you gonna give advice on fixing equipment if you don’t even know what you’re talking about? All you need is carb adjustment tools and it doesn’t mean it needs a new carb. You just f&@ up the settings
I didn’t mess up the settings. In this video I was trying to correct the settings. I bought it from a person with it being like this already, and towards the end of the video, I fixed it and got the settings back to normal. It still works perfectly til this day. I can make a video of me sawing down some trees in my yard with the same chainsaw to prove your mouthy ass wrong
@@GreenThumbEngines Yea,there's always gonna be dicks on here. I literally just redid all my fuel lines & primer bulb on this exact saw(about an hour ago). I just came on here to figure out which screw is the L & which is the H as the idle is way to high. Had this saw for about 6 years now & starts every time on 2nd pull. Love it. Just tell all these dicks to FO & don't watch your vids. Keep doing you man.
yeah, on the carb, the low and high air mix screws are adjustable with the correct driver. you can pick up a nice set for like 15 bucks on Amazon.
thats right. I put some links to them in the description incase anyone needs to get one. those things come in handy for sure. Its a must have if you have lawn care equipment.
Where ?
All you need to do is to fix the wires and then tune the carb by increasing the idle speed then turn the low idle adjustment till it runs. then find where the highest idle speed in the low screw (the sweet spot) then turn it left 1/4 to 1/2 turn. then lower your idle speed screw till the chain stops moving. and then go to the high idle speed adjustment and turn it right in 1/4 turn steps until it doesn't bog and has good response to throttle (if its necessary). if you don't get it just look up a video.
Nice, I got 2 of these from a friend, had scored piston and cylinder but was able to get them fixed, the run good now
nice, very good to hear about that! always love it when you can rebuild broken machines.
i literally found 3 chainsaws on the road side. some one threw out . 2 homelites and a craftsman 42cc. i got them all running replacing various parts. some people just dont have the patients.
That’s what I’m saying! This was the best comment I ever read lol stuff like this gets me excited! I’m so glad you got that treasure!
@@GreenThumbEngines Hell yes. Snagged an ms 066 like this, what a saw. All it needed was fresh fuel, new fuel lines, fuel filter and a carb kit. Runs like new. Feels good man. Keep at it
I got one of those from my dad that had very few hours on it. I dribbled fuel into the carb and it fired up ran wide open until it burned all the fuel. I thought the needle and seat was stuck so I cleaned and rebuilt the carb. Then it would start but screamed wide open. That is when I noticed the plastic piece that the carb mounts to was loose. I pulled the screws out and the gasket behind it was nearly gone.it was sucking air. Looking into it this is extremely common not only with the homelite but John Deere that is almost just like it. They no longer make this gasket. You have to get NOS and they want almost as much as the saw is worth.

My home lite 42cc has pacman style screwdriver for the settings
Do you have the Pac-Man carburetor adjusting screwdriver tool? I had to order an entire set on eBay that comes with different styles cuz I have different machines.
So was the issue the carb?
Yeah it was. The carburetor is why the chain kept moving on it’s own. If I were to just buy a new carburetor the problem would be fixed.
Do you know where this machine has its gas tank ventilation valve? I cannot find it.
Gas tank ventilation valve. Hmmm I’m not sure. Maybe you can try googling gas tank ventilation valve on chainsaw to even see what that looks like
Duckbill valve is in filler cap middle.porous plug hold in place between grip lugs. Similar vent on chain oil cap.

Or maybe you can try messing with the carburetor screws and use a carburetor tuning tool to tune it to stay on with the choke off. It’ll take some patience long as you crank it on and start tuning it while listening to how it sounds as you’re turning or rotating the screws.
