Default Homelite 33cc Bearings Needed

I just converted a Homelite 33cc chainsaw engine. When using the chainsaw, it started to make a funny noise (loud whirring sound). I converted it anyway, but the noise is still there. It only starts to make this noise when it heats up, when it is first started the noise is not present.


So, I think I have one or possible two bad berings. I was wondering if anyone knows where to buy one of these berings, or even has one or two they would like to sell.

I am also wondering what everyone is using to turn the carb mixture screws. The screws in my carb are just round with a flat on one side.

Thanks.

Hi,
Use a Dremel tool with a cutoff disk to cut a slote accross both screws at once, as in the picture. Look in the yellow pages for a ball bearing supplier. Or go to a small engine repair shop, they are standard size bearings.
