Cannot remove starter from homelite 150 automatic chainsaw

sTART BY DISCONECTING BATTERY, NOTE MAKE SURE WINDOWS ARE OPEN AND THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED BEFORE DISCONECTING. FITTING IS REVERSE OF REMOVAL, TAKE PLENTY OF PHOTO'S AT EACH STAGE OF REMOVAL SO THAT YOU CAN SEE HOW IT ALL GOES BACK TOGETHER. HOPE THIS HELPS.

change the starter

Check your starter solenoid, its located on the fenderwell, easy way to do it is put ignition switch in start position use a jumper wire and connect the two large terminals, if it starts quickly remove the jumper, then replace the starter solenoid, if nothing happens replace the ignition module.

I know this sounds stupid, but you can't start it without pushing in the clutch. The only option you have is to leave the vehicle in neutral with the parking brake on to keep it from rolling. I don't recommend this as it could roll away and leave you liable for property damage or personal injury. Typically you only put remote starter devices on automatics. Sorry I couldn't offer any other option.

Hello! The starter motor and solenoid are one unit...There are different starter motors dependent on auto or manual transmission...I'll send them both...Photo #1 is for an automatic and Photo #2 a manual...Cost is around $150...Trust me...I feel your pain...Guru...Saailer

The field wire to the starter has a small eyelet connector that connects to the small terminal on the starter solenoid (sometimes marked "S").

All other wires have a large eyelet connector and they are all connected together with the battery cable to the large terminal on the starter solenoid (sometimes marked "BAT").

Sometimes the field wire to the starter is a push on type connector, and there would only be one obvious terminal on the starter solenoid that it could be connected to.

Remove the drive belt remove the screws on the starter,replace the starter,re insert the belt and adjust screw to proper tension...easy

Starter. Alternator just charges the battery.

check clamps where heater hoses go to firewall there was an issue with coolant leaking onto ignition components causing misfiring

ignition switch.if it was a starter problem, it would make some kind of weird noise.
