make sure u put it back correctly

It sounds like it is not getting enough fuel to keep it running. There may be a clogged screen in the carb or dirt somewhere in the carb. Another thing you can check is the adjustment on the carb.

Try adjusting the idle. The will be a couple adjustment screws, there will be an (H) and (L) you will need to turn the (L) First tighten the sdcrew completely then turn it 1-1/4 turns. This will be a good to start. Then just turn it small amounts until you get it to idle. Also there should be an idle adjustment you can adjust.

Check the on/off or kill switch. It grounds out the ignition system so that you have no spark. Probably have a loose wire and it's shorting out to ground and making the ignition system not work.

Spitting gas is not good. It's probably leaking there instead of going into the carburetor where it can fire the engine. Need to find that leak and change the hose it's running out of. You get gas to the carburetor by gravity and vacumn from the engine. With a broken hose you loose all gravity effects and vacumn that would pull the gas to the carburetor.

Homelites from the beginning of time have spilled mixed gas down over the cylinder head by the spark plug from the gas cap. Then you go out and cut massive amounts of wood and all the sawdust swirls around the head, sticks to the oily gas residue and sooner or later it builds up in the cooling fins surrounding the cylinder head. This causes the chainsaw to run hotter because it can't cool efficiently and the gas tank is right there close to the head and cylinder so it absorbs a lot of extra heat, so much so that i've seen the gas inside the tank literally boiling hot which forces it out of the gas cap vent and spills more oily gas mixture over the head to accummulate more sawdust and cause more overheating. Care should be taken not to overfill the gas tank. Keep the saw and cylinder head clean of buildup so it can run cooler and change gas tank caps often so that you have a clean vent incase you do build up pressure.

you can obtain a manual from store.payloadz.com $8.99 they stock most every manual for power tools..hope this helps

You just fill it to the top, it is for lubricating the chain and bar. For the engine you must use gas premixed with 2-stroke oil for chainsaws in the correct mix.

I strongly advise you to try to find a manual for the saw and study it carefully. Gas-powered chain saws are one of the most dangerous tools you could have in your hands and requires knowledge about how it works, how to operate it safely, how it should be adjusted and serviced, how to determine if the safety systems are functioning, what safety gear you must have etc.

Try some starter fluid (eather) that wil give you an indication if it's ignition or a fuel problem.

on your machine may be on the side of it that led into the carb should have H for high L low L is for the idle H is for all out ball to the wall you will need a small long screw flat head . put in the H ,turn out for more gas in for less good luck

Try replacing the muffler. The baffle or something inside the muffler may be loose and when compression is put on the cylinder from pulling starter rope to crank over engine it will cause baffle to move over and seal off muffler leaving nowhere for compression to go. When the sparkplug is removed this allows an outlet for compression when starter rope is pulled. Hope this helps

bear973 you must make sure that that in tank filter is seated in right position and not just floating around inside the tamk

sound like hydraulic lock,try leaving the spark plug out and pull it quite a few times with the spark plug hole facing the ground, this should shoot the offending fluid out.
might work ?

Wear saftey glasses...

hold the middle coils and keep pulling the outer coil slowly hold the spring with long nose pliers. keep tightening it up un till its smaller than the case hole...
make sure its on the right side..

been out fighting 2 saws today,r+r lines filters one problem on 1 saw same went from 50/1 to 30/1 quit over heating and evaporating gas,, pulls easier fires an pulls chain well on big cuts//used 50on two cords cool day last year today 80+ over heated

Hi Remove the fan housing with the starter mecanism.Pull the starter and check if it works properly.Try to turn by hand the flyweel.It is normaly to feel dificulty only when the piston comes up in the cilinder.If you feel difficulty all the time there is too much preasure on the cilinder walls(piston rings friction.Easy kick the end of the crankshaft with a hammer until the piston moves easier in the cilinder
please leave a rating.Thanks
cheers savumihai71.

Would check sprocket teeth as sprocket is probably worn out. Causing drag of chain.

Go to m-and-d.com then parts diagram then illustrated parts online then parts look up then select oem homelite then model no. hopefully this will show you correct way.
