Homelite 550

Picked this saw up off Craigslist the other night for a decent
price and it was a easy fixer, the seller claimed his dad bought
the saw new in the mid 70's. Had to put the recoil rope back
into the saw, repair the fuel line, adjust the carb and add new
fuel. This saw has tremendous compression and runs like a
scalded dog. The only current issue is part of the muffler is
missing and it has a "rattle can" paint job. I am looking to add
a 28" sprocket nose bar and 3/8" full chisel chain.

Big Dave Nieger had a 550 souped with a pipe .Because it was
bottom exhaust the pipe had to exit through the bottom of course
.
The pipe wasn't exactly right so it took some doing to keep the
R's in the right range .If it was in resonance range though that
thing would fly .
