Saved one of these from the scrap yard. It has the identical problem. Very helpful video. Thanks very much.

I need one of them fly wheel nuts myself and a new pull cord spring 😏 😂😂 there's really no videos on these 150 😢

Hello Leon... Nice 150.. in pretty good shape as well.. The 150 is one of my favorite Homelite saws because of the platform and it's a piston port, no reed valves means less can go wrong. Thank for the video, Hope all is well !!

[@treebender261]

I didn't know that I never had one apart I think my blue one needs a piston, and cylinder

[@ImaProctologist]

@@treebender261 Hey Tom.. As far as I know the 150 is the only piston port saw Homelite ever made but don't quote me on that. They are a piece of cake to work on and the only difficult thing is when putting it back together trying to hook up the throttle linkage. Other than that it really is a sweet saw and well balanced too.. You can find all kinds of parts for them.. Leon has a good selection as well as Ebay... PS.. Leon has a tear down and reassemble video that is very helpful !! Good luck..

Thanks for the reply I just finished a mild port on a stihl 310 that was different but it worked out well and I got a 365 xtork apart need seals and rebuild and port then I think the 150s will be next

[@ImaProctologist]

@@treebender261 well it seems as if you know what you're doing... Good for you brother.. I also have many different saws but mostly all Homelite restorations. Currently in the process of restoring a 1974 Super EZ auto.. Just finished the powder coating on all the metal and almost ready for reassembly.. Take care and have fun with your projects !!

Hi Leon- I have picked up one of these 150s however it only idles when tipped forward. Any suggestions on what to check. Thanks, Bruce

[@Bill-xc8le]

I just came across your channel. I own a 150 with the red case with a 16"" sprocket bar, made around 1980 and I use it all the time!

[@connermiller7211]

I’m In search of the starter bearing and I don’t see it in your inventory or in the ipl do you think you could help with the part number?

[@whogivesacrapaboutastupidc2313]

How on earth did you wind that thing back up? I have one I need to reassemble and I have no idea how to do that voodoo.

[@mr1pearl]

Great work Ken says hi ! Like the fast forward part funny ! Old machine runs pretty good thanks for sharing !

[@wrayjordan8315]

These 150s are nicely balanced saws. Good power.

[@johnnorman7708]

Never really took much notice of the 150s . Was given one a couple weeks ago. That has now peaked my curiosity quite a bit. And one of my sons has mentioned that he thought it would be cool to cut with. Not running yet, but she popped on prime. Probably a good starting point for a saw project. Have a lead on a small pile of parts to get started. Another interesting old Homelite...

[@justinweaver8787]

Nice 150 Leon hope you have a good week buddy.

[@treebender261]

[@michaelszpak2247]

Nice clean saw. How does this saw compare to the PM6?

[@RamboMims]

I just picked up a red one the other day for $20 bucks. It's in pieces on my workbench.
