You also need to prepare yourself for starting the engine. Homelites with a magneto instead of electronic ignition are quite difficult to hand start. And a standard glow engine starter doesn't have enough power to turn them over. The cheapest/easiest route is to buy a starter cone and insert, and install a long 5/16" bolt in it with a nut. You can then chuck that bolt into a good battery powered electric hand drill and easily start the engine.
