The manual doesn't show.

I was working on a neighbor's homelite chainsaw and I replaced the primer bulb, it was not intuitive, and I hooked up the lines backwards. Also if you are replacing the primer bulb, maybe you have old fuel lines that are deteriorating and need replaced. Did you check the in tank fuel filter? If it looks dark, it may be time to change it.

I hope this helps get you going again.

remove your carb and clean it and replace diaphram's and needle , they tend to swell up from ethanol that is used in the gas now a days, and the diaphrams turn stiff and won't pump fuel. then put fresh gas in when you are done and also replace fuel lines and filter too., probably primer to because once it is hit with carb clean it just crumbles, good luck

The parts inside the carburetor need to be replaced (gasket and diaphragm kit) and/or the L and H screws need to be adjusted on the carb. Try grasping and turning the L mixture screw on the carburetor (one closest to engine) about 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn counterclockwise.

First you will have to get a carburetor kit ,it consists of diaprams and inlet needle,you then remove the two srews that hold carburetor on the engine and remove gas lines,also the throttle cable remove screws that hold ends of carburetor on under these you will find the diaphrams and needle remove these be carefull not to loose the little spring under the needle lever.
!get you a can of carburetor cleaner and spray carburetor the blow it out with air you will notice little jets in carburetor that have to be clean use a wire from a bread tie to clean them out install new gaskets and diaprams in same position you took old ones off.you can also look at carburetor to see what kind it is walbor,zama,tilloson? type the name in google search and can get a diagram of carburetor if you loose your place,or just ask me.

This time of year, the ethanol in the fuel and winter set-up take their toll. Try this to entice it to run. Get an aerosol can of carburetor/choke cleaner spray at the auto parts store. Remove the air filter. Open the choke on the carburetor. Open the throttle all the way on the carburetor. Spray a couple of shots of the cleaner in through the carburetor throat. Immediately try to start the machine with it cold-choked the conventional manner with air cleaner still off. If it "pops" or acts like it wants to start, repeat the above procedure. If it fails to start, pull the spark plug and check for flooding and/or fouling of the plug. Clean and replace and repeat procedure. If it doesn't attempt to start, you will probably have to remove and service the carburetor, A good cleaning and/or gasket with diaphragms rebuild kit may need to be installed. These carbs have to be rebuilt with these fuel sensitive parts periodically anyway. Post back if needed. We are here to help.

Your manual states that you use 2 stroke oil (I recommend synthetic) mixed with gasoline at the ratio of 50:1. That is 2.6 ounces/US gallon or 1.3 ounces/ 1/2 US Gallon. You can view your manual here but will need Adobe Reader installed on your computer to do so. The above information is stated on page 11 of the manual.

There should at least be a metal guard on the muffler. If there was any kind of pad, it probably would have to be made of asbestos (a highly banned material) to withstand the high heat. I don't know if the exhaust is the culprit here of is the muffler itself has contacted the user. Maybe the muffler has been removed (for carbon removal) and reinstalled incorrectly, thus the exhaust trail is contacting the user. See if the muffler has the small cover on it removed where the exhaust comes out. If this cover is missing, a new muffler with the correct cover on it is recommended.

This is as close as I could come to your model. Several iof the carburetor items for Homelites have been updated or discontinued. In addition to this, Ebay has several Zama carburetors for sale that may fit your machine. This site is pricey but will give you a good idea;

Modern Homelite equipment uses a 50;1 fuel mixture. That is 2.6 ounces of 2 cycle mix to 1 gallon (U.S.) of gasoline. I highly recommend to use a quality 2 cycle oil that is designed for lawn equipment. I also recommend to use a mix that contains fuel stabilizer. This will usually be in a 3.2 ounce bottle.
Always use fresh fuel, it prevents problems in your equipment.

Good luck!

2.6 oz. of 2-cycle oil to 1 gallon of gas. This is 50:1 ratio.

Start from the bottom and work your way up. This is not an easy repair. You have to almost completely dissassemble the entire blower to replace the cord. You will need a T20 and T25 torx tool, a 9/16' wrench or socket, 40" of #3.5 rope and about an hour. A repair shop will typically charge $20 to $40 in labor for this repair.

This is somewhat common in the the "zip start" machines. The recoil pulley is 2 plastic housings with a round coil spring between them. It is designed to need less effort to pull and start the machine. When pulled on with great effort/frustration, the middle spring bends and damages the upper housing. The only semi-permanent solution is to replace the pulley assembly. The part is relatively cheap thru Homelite.com. If you can do it yourself, go for it. A repair shop will most likely charge you $20 to $40 in labor to do this.

Carb needs adjusting. Turn low side out half turn. If that doesn't do it, time to rebuild or replace carb.
