ID this Homelite
 

Unsure of the size and vintage of this homelite. Reportedly RCIGN did the sensor and magnet installation.

And another Homelite engine that I would appreciate comments on regards suitability and weight. Different than the one in first post.

RE: ID this Homelite
 

acctually if you look close enough, they look like the same engine, but the first one someone chucked the jug up in a lathe and trimmed everything down round... and spent a lot more time trimming the case...

What did the captions say about the engines in the pictures?

RE: ID this Homelite
 

They are at least 33's.

RE: ID this Homelite
 

If you look at the exhaust outlet they differ in size, shape, and bolt hole patterns. May be same size engine but their are differences and one I suspect is weight. Read searching here that 33 and 40+ used same head at one time which made the 33 heavier than necessary.

RE: ID this Homelite
 

I don't see so much difference in them except the machine work that someone did?

But I have no idea about any exact specs?

Of course you are correct. Having troubles here, too much food to digest. Gee notice how the intake is a different shape on one compared to the exhaust of the other.!! [sm=red_smile.gif]

RE: ID this Homelite
 

I think that is just the way the intake looks on the recent black top saws. The current red top saws have a round intake for a rubber boot.

Speaking of indigestion.... I'm miserable

That motor is a either a Homelite 33cc or a 38cc chainsaw engine. It looks like the cylinder was turned down on a mill turn table. The second engine looks like a homelite but the crank shaft is wrong. Homelites have nearly an inch of shaft sticking out before it tapers down to the thread.
