I bought a homelite engine and conversion parts from a guy who gave up the project. I put it all together and added a big bore Walbro carb, the results are fantastic! This thing turns an 18x8 prop 8500rpm! Idles like a dream and snappy transition to boot. It shames a G38.

Now I am curious about which Homelite chainsaws have the 38cc engine. Since I bought the engine already pulled out of the saw, I have no idea. I thought about contacting Wacker engines, they sell a bunch of parts to convert these, however, his site shows he is not in business due to surgery for the summer.

Thanks, Lee
