HOMELITE CHAINSAW REPAIR : how to rebuild the carburetor and minor tune up (FULL AND UNCUT) 

Thanks, I’ve had mine about 15 years and it’s just began to give me troubles. Your video gave a great breakdown on how to disassemble and repair my chain saw! Hope you have another video on adjusting the carb as well.

Thank you for the information, very informative. I was going to retire my homelite due to bad performance, Your video brought it alive to finish trimming my gigantic front yard tree.

Great job 👍👍

Thank you 👍

I thought we had identical machines, but mine is a Homelite "Ranger" 33. Your throttle linkage is on the opposite side from mine. Took me forever to figger out how to slide it onto the bolts. Finally fingered out to push the bottom link thru, past home, then jammed the carb in, then pulled the linkage back to home.

Thank you for taking your time and making this video. Great job explaining everything.

Just came across your video, great job! I have a Homelite Ranger UT-10926 chainsaw. It would not start, decided to replace the carburetor. The one I received for my model did not have a place to hook the linkage from the throttle trigger to the carburetor. Is this something I have to use from the old carburetor and install on the new one? I've installed carburetors on other 2 stroke machines , but never came across this problem. Thanks in advance.

Nice presentation. All you have to do is tighten up the chain and you're ready to go!! I have a couple of old Homelites and I think now I will have a go at their carbs too.

Thank you Sir, nice video I study small engine repair at Local Vo Tech at night, career change, God Bless

Great video , very informative

Was given one of these pieces of garbage.Ran nothing but engineered fuel in it.Doing the very same thing.The carbs are garbage.Can not depend on these saws.Great if you need a saw for a one time project.That said great video,new subscriber.

I usually check the metering lever height when I rebuild a carb, one saw I worked on before someone tried to rebuild it themselves and had the gaskets and diaphragms all in the wrong order and the metering lever was bent up at a 45 and wondered why it wouldn't run.

Hi, I am working on the same chainsaw shown in the video I cleaned the carburetor since the chainsaw say for 3 years with old gas and I started it when the carb wasn't cleaned and it idled but bogged down when I gave it has and now that I have cleaned and put back in the carbuerator it will not start up at all, do you know what the red and white things on the carb are, idle control? And is the fuel intake line on the top or the bottem of the carbuerator, thank you- David

Same exact saw I have. Bought off Market place with bad primer bulb. Looking to see where the adjustments are for the carburetor. Idles great but will not go to high speed. Does it need a b ew carb or adjustment high speed?

thought this video was awsome.Have homlite 14inc , and just had baught a Roybi 18 inc .thanks enjoyed.

Thank you for doing all this work for us.

I've also noticed they start "better" when you turn on the switch.

JEREMY - your the man.

have same saw as your video. Starts good, idles good but when I start to rev up it doesn't respond well. Revs ups with half throttle but with full throttle it kinda sputters and won't rev high? I checked gas, clean and fresh. Found gas filter in tank not tight on fuel line. Cut 1/4" piece of hose off and reattached filter, good and tight now. THANKS

Can you tell me the part number of air filter please.

I have an older home lite super xl. Can’t find cab parts. Or a replacement

How you doing then a good job do you buy you Parts at parts house or your Autumn online could you put that in description for me enjoyed your video Cajun land Church Point Louisiana

new oiler wont stop it from leaking.....nature of the beast

Excellent Video, very informative. I have the same carburetor. Gentleman I got the saw from told me he had tweaked the high and low settings all over the place. Do you know about what the factory settings would be for those. Cant get the saw to start, believe he had the settings all jacked up.

Great, thanks

thats a whole nuther video!

I bought it at my local stihl dealer

I have the timberman 45cc, it was leaking fuel when running, looking at carb, I found the lower hose off, reconnected it, but now the engine races at full throttle, the idle screw backed out , any suggestions???

good video, thanks

I tried to adjust the carb, and now the thing won't start, can you tell me what to do to get it to start

I love that little drill driver you are using. Who makes it?

After watching this, I decided I don't want to fool around with rebuilding my chainsaw. The carburetor is almost as touchy as a human heart. But very interesting.

Hi there, My chain saw 42cc is hard to start, now is just want to run and then stop righ away! any suggest? Q

Very helpful, thanks!

My question is how does mount a 46cc homelite carburator correct since it's mounted at a slant on the chainsaw.?

How much would you charge to do this? I see you're local

If it wouldn't have started after the rebuild. What would you have looked at next? I've got a homelite ut10540. New carb,fuel lines,primer,fuel filter and spark plug. Still doesn't want to fire

any ideas, when i push the primer it does go into the carb but it stays ontop in the (pump part) i cant figure it out

Thanks Mate your video is a massive help to me as I have both that saw and and the 33cc leaf blower .Phill

Hey buddy, where did you get your carb rebuild kit from? I have a Homelite saw that I'm taking apart tomorrow.

Hi, I'm from Argentina, as the screwdriver for high and low tuning regulator is called

how's about a pull cord tensioner spring or recoil

mr fountain question. I have a echo cs 440 chain saw a guy wanted me to fix . I rebuilt the carb , replaced the filter hose but it still only runs for about a minuet . I have a clear passage from the impulse port . do I have to totally have to dismantle this saw? thanks I know your busy.

Thank you for this video. Have you got any clue where this machine has its gas tank ventilation valve?

I have the very same saw.Hadn't started it in 4 years.Got it out yesterday and put fresh gas in it and it started 1st pull! Is that the normal slack in the chain at idle?

Ive got an old homelite ut10505-B dont remember how old, carb rebuild, 16in.bar, runs great. Do you know what the displacement is?(cc's).

need to tighten that chain

hi jeremy..i have the same chainsaw..have bar chain oil leaking out the bottom..any idea how to change the bar chain oiler...im pretty sure thats the problem..chain saw starts up and runs fine..

good luck

now i know..thanks

Does primer suck fuel thru carb or push fuel thru carb ?

Chain seems a little loose?

You might need a K20-WAT carburator kit before starting this.

Smashing repair :-) Rubbery diaphrams in petrol, not the best idea, ive seen too many b&s carbs with diaphram problems :-(

Carb is plugged up

Hahaha he didn't have the switch in the on position that's classic

How much rpm it should be on full throttle?

Takes about 2 minutes to remove the chain linkage from the handle and then it's completely out of your way. There are three screws on the side of the handle, once u take the side off the linkage just pops right up and out. Way too annoying working on the carb with the handle in your way.

Mine barely has enough power, even when brand new, to get thru a rotten 2x4, that's if you can keep the worthless pot metal safety chain on without slipping off the bar, anything bigger than 4 inches in diameter can be cut faster with a sharp Swedish saw, do they make a oregon bar and chain combo for this saw that doesn't actually cost more than the powerhead itself, mines sitting in its case with a petrified primer bulb steeping in bar oil just keep her around cause I hate throwing anything away,my poulans though crappy run circles around this saw, and you don't have to pull and use every choice word in the vocabulary!!! As is when she does run and start she has about as much power as a hot popcorn fart!! Even with tuning!!

Should be carb parts

full and uncut? No spark plug gaping and no carb adjustment.......

throw it in the trash and buy a stihl
