Homelite 750 dilemma : repair or parting out
DIR By: belgian

---------------------------------------------------------
I did found a Homelite 750 recently here in Belgium. Big homies
are very rear over here so wanted to add this one to the
collection.
I did have good compression still and fired, so I thouht it
might be a runner soon. The saw looked still very decent.
After I took it apart, I noticed however the piston has scoring
marks ..... :o
the verdict :
Looks like several chrome chips in the cylinder have peeled off,
hence the piston hung up, but quite mildly. The thin rings are
still even free.
But the cylinder looks toast. What are the chances to find a
good cylinder ? Or has anyone experience with the cost of
rechroming, if possible at all.
I need also a new intake boot (with spring) and might replace
the crankshaft seals.
Any recommendations/input is welcome.
thanks

Chances are you won't run it that often .If you clean it up and
run a heavier oil mix you most likely will never have a
problem.The seals most likely are just generic SAE sized so that
shouldn't be a problem .The boot depending on how bad it is
might be repaired using a fuel resistant RTV such as Loc-tite
5900 .
For that matter large displacement Homelites are rather rare
any where which is not saying you can not find the parts but
more than likely they will be costly .

Hi Al,
Spending money to get a saw going and put her on the shelf
afterwards is not very tempting, I know. but the technician in
me just wants to hear it roaring again.
the boot was no longer there so I definately need one for
running it.
I can clean up to piston but am afraid of running this cylinder
again.
can we upload pics here ?
