I have one standard top handle xl and two of the twin trigger xl2 saws plus other homelites along with a few Macs and some pioneers . Plus some average husky and still models
@@massawman lucky man, I’d give anything to have that ole smoky homelite back just because it was my grandpas. Loved that ole top handle, it kicked back on me one day tho when I was younger. my arm has three scars that look like tooth marks. Some how it slowed down enough before it hit my arm thank the lord.
Wanting to make stuff preform better has always been a motivator. Telling me I couldn’t do something was an incentive. Have I scattered a few...sure...did I have success on some, certainly did, I have to try if the logic is there. Good to see a young fellow with the attitude of try your own ideas. In the 60’s go fast parts weren’t available as they are today.
Leon’s chainsaw repair would be my go to for homelite! I’m loving this build! I will be referring back to this video! Thanks for taking us along buddy!👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey! Not sure how I stumbled upon your channel but so glad I did! Great content plus its easier to understand what your doing. Keep them coming. I have about a dozen saws only 4 of them cut. Lol other won't start but thats the fun part. My wife see junk tho. Lol.
Tinman that's the biggest port I have ever seen. If you never walk to the edge of the cliff you won't know what's over the edge.. I hope it works! Rick
Looking forward to seeing it cut, I've struggled to find ball park timing numbers to start at. I've retimed and ported a s65 partner, my numbers are close to your numbers and it runs great. Lots of great info your sharing. Thanks Greg from Melbourne Australia.
I think Leon's chainsaw repair he has a web site with parts and there are allot of them. I think it might be only homllite's that could be the forum. Nice ink work!!! You are doing a great job. I will be referring back to some of your video's to do this saw. I hate to take apart a perfectly good running saw but I have to try. I have a Honda CR480 that would never start cold. Well it was always hard to start. I also have a 200t that just won't idle there is some going on in the carb. of the fuel filter is letting some micro particle in that won't let it idle it acts like it running out of fuel. That saw is hard to work on. everything is tiny. Thanks for the video's they will come in handy!!!!
I’m making an intro video for doing a very similar thing and while I’m waiting for the video to process I do a little browse and your video pops up!! What are the odds!! I’m just getting started and you are finishing. I don’t plan on taking it as far as you are.
We’re I live down here in the states, I started looking for homelites an have found a couple decent ones for like 30 bucks on market place. Thinking about doing some farm work for the extra money an sending it lol
@Tinman's saws I bet "Leon's Chainsaw Parts & Repair" would have the seals if you can not find them up North where you are. This Homelite stuff is so much fun. ( I will say it on every video) Because it is ! :D
I'm a 4-stroke motorcycle guy most and for most 1980's Honda V4's and just recently got into the powersaws. Despite just being a syringe (yes I'm quoting you 😁) there is a lot for me to learn and that's why I love your video's really great, keep it up. I was thinking about that bridge you took out. If that thing is really going to catch a ring. Why not leave the bridge and adapt it to your advantage? Liking shaping and slimming at the same time? I do that to most of my 4 strokes and offcourse leaving them rough.
An engine is an engine. Motorcycle, chainsaw, "same thing only different". The principles don't change. "Am I building for low end torque or higher revs and HP?" Once you figure that out, you have the beginning (basic numbers), School of hard knocks, as long as you learn the lesson, you wind up with evidence. Good stuff, great attitude, nice tux :)
Hi Tinman!!😀😀 I didn't know that it was going to be a formal dressed video!! LOL!! Have you checked with Leon to see if he can get you the seals and bearings that you need?? Can't wait to see if and how good it's going to run!! Take care my friend!!😀😀👍👍 Logger Al
and here in Winnipeg people think a $50 saw is worth 200😂 driven out to Austin to meet a guy for a promac 650 few years ago. Ran great for a year years and died might be this winters project
I live in Western Mass. let me know what you are looking for. I have 4 top handle Poulans. I have an old Husky 55 rancher that needs help and a Husky 41 both of those saws have sentimental links to me but I think they both need a work over I also have a Stihl 041 with no AV I think that will run with little effort. I would be willing to do some horse trading let me know what you are looking for. And a bunch of Homelites I like the XL12 I think I will try to port that. I cuts good know but ported it should cut great. And a 925 I don't like and some EZ's I have to many saws not enough time.
For the crank seals 12282-A is the flywheel side and 58308-B is the clutch side according to the xl76 ipl from Leon's website they are all over ebay and you can sometimes find them as a set www.leonschainsawpartsandrepair.com/uploads/3/9/7/9/39792537/homelite-terry_xl-76_chainsaw_ipl.pdf
I am working on a craftsman roper 60cc, essentially an engine copy of what you are working on. The slightly longer stroke won’t allow me to remove the base gasket or it Freeports. Funny how your stock timing number for exhaust matches mine. Cannot thank you enough for throwing out some numbers. Plan on doing the same mods, exhaust to 101-102, currently 106. I was thinking of notching the piston skirts by the transfers, but concerned about stability of the piston. Any thoughts? Would be great to get your input. Thanks again, ironhorse sent me.
Hey man I don't know when you'll get this but I was wondering have you ever tried that pre mix fuel stuff? Husky makes one and then there's a couple others.
Good PEOPLE with good content makes a big difference, ur a down to earth feller, humble, good man, that makes a big differnce
Stop you're making me blush!!
I’m just a hobby firewood cutter that has been using older saws and grew up on Homelites as well . Great information keep it coming .
I agree!!
I got an old top handle xl from my grandpa an ever since then I’ve been crazy over them, sadly I was younger an stupid so it ended up sold 🤦🏻♂️

Thanks for the good shot of chamfering and sharing your method.
If it's close to a 562 it will
be mind blowing ! Either way i am along for the ride. Thanks Tinman for the inspiration to get in there and do it.
Looks damn good! Keep up the great work, nothing cooler than cheap power. Real professional wore your tux to the saw shop👍👍😁
on cars n cameras I've seen Issac use adhesive sand paper on his finger seems like a very good idea
Good idea.
It is if you dont have a dremel with the small sanding discs or cutting burrs. Glad to see another who like watching john and Ike!
@@rncboy2 :) I have seen people put a razor sharp edge on a old axe with sandpaper. It is a great stuff.
Anyhow, have a good one day friend.

Love the tux shirt! Almost 1000 subscribers Congrats Tinman you sure deserve it!❤️
Hi. Love your videos. Gratings from Norway.
Norway??? Thats neat, thanks for watching Glenn!!!
Grouse work Tinman! Loving it 👊
Cool project youre doin there! Cant wait to see how it runs!! STAY SAFE!!
I love the old homelites
I agree!!
I've been waiting for this video, now I'm waiting for the next.
Great content!
Looks cool hope to see as much reassemble as possible
Tinman that's the biggest port I have ever seen. If you never walk to the edge of the cliff you won't know what's over the edge.. I hope it works! Rick

You are describing an air leak more than carb issues. Check your crankshaft seals. Look at some videos on the subject.
I agree ya gotta march to your own drummer!! Thanks for sharing.

Great build tin man.
Loving this stuff man. Keep it up
Thanks for the video, great content.
I enjoy how you try different mods. This is epic stuff!
Keep up the good work!!!
Interesting build! I'll bet it will be a ripper.

I work for the factory that makes CAT scales, was surprised to see it on your hat!
Freak’n A! Can’t wait to see it run!! 👍

I took the bridge out as the benefits outweigh the negetives in my mind
@@tinmanssaws No doubt that you already weighed the pro's and con's😉

Hi Tinman!!😀😀
I didn't know that it was going to be a formal dressed video!! LOL!!
Have you checked with Leon to see if he can get you the seals and bearings that you need??
Can't wait to see if and how good it's going to run!!
Take care my friend!!😀😀👍👍
Logger Al
I'll have to check in with him in the future if I decide to trench these cases.
Lol keep up with a 562xp it really must be hot up there. Your hallucinating haha
Put some Helicoils into the Studholes and its better than new!

Subbed bells on
The next video I watch I'll try to dress more appropriate I was not ready for this.😀😁😂
very nice well done

Can't never did anything! Always try never know till you do! Have a blessed day everyone!
I have a Homelite XL 76 that I would like you to build for me. Any chance we can make that happen? I desperately want this saw to sing like Buckin's.
Cant wait to hear that thing rip!
Oh cool, just woke up and it's 2am, what am I going to do now...... 👍😊
Hey man I don't know when you'll get this but I was wondering have you ever tried that pre mix fuel stuff? Husky makes one and then there's a couple others.
Hi i dont use premix fuels of any kind. I use opti2 at 45:1
What about decking the base?
Seal SKF 6120 single lip or SKF 6119 double lip flywheel side and Dichtomatik # 0609318TC double lip clutch side
HOW DO YOU HONE THESE OPEN TRANSFER CYLS? MINE HAD SOME SCRATCHES AND HAD TO SAND BY HAND. DO THEY MAKE HONES FOR THESE
I use either a ball hone or sandpaper. Just depends on what kind of a mood I'm in..
Sorry - didn't realize this was a black tie event - brb!
I know of a jobu two man saw
