- This Homelite Chainsaw Model UT10580 saw hasn't been used in years, and was stored with old premix gas in it. It has an 18" bar and a 42cc engine. Let's see what it takes to get it back into working order...

great tutorial on chain tensioning
good mechanic. investigated reason for the difficulty he had removing top cover before reassembly. like this guy
My mother was from NB so I like your accent! Anyway, the white paint on the fuel line is a hint it is original. My 2010 vintage saw has the same. I take it you don't think much of these saws. Since I have only used Poulan and Echo, fixing mine is a new experience. Seems like a pretty good homeowners saw. But I have noticed that the displacement of these saws seems inconsistent - 42, 38, 37, (mine says 35) and even saw one in a video that showed "3414c". I guess the Chinese don't read English very well (: BTW there is a small round tab (1/4 inch dia) that secures the front left of the cover.
I got the exact same saw from my parents and wanted to tune it up. Thanks for the video!
surprised you did not remove muffler and check for piston scoring
Not bad ! One pull to start it up,,,,,, that doesn't happen too often for me...lol
It was a surprise to me too. 2 strokes usually take a couple or three pulls to fire up.
on the first pull, get the fk outta here. but it's runnin. thanks for the vid brother. you know your way around chainsaws, and much as you don't like workin on em, you put that one in line right quick. thanks. picked a 4218 up recently and will know what to look for when disassemblin - cuz of you
excellent vid
Thanks Marcus!
Great video man, talked through all the steps with a little comic relief!! Well done, gained a sub here friend. Looks like you had an ultra glide in the background?
Thanks for the great comments, Chris! Close on the bike, Electraglide Classic, one step below the Ultra Classic. 👍
@@randomwrenching dangit, was torn between witch one to pick lol. You ever do any random wrenching on that thing?
@@chrisinkansas1362 Sure do. I have a couple videos on that bike in my uploads.
Hello, I subbed you and came over from Mick's channel
Hey, thanks for making the trip...it's appreciated!
Looks pretty new or kept clean anyway 😮
He bought it, used it to cut a few 4x4 fence post tops off and then it sat in the garage for years. Never used it again. It was basically new.
The new fuel hose is terrible and just falls apart after 3/4 years
The older hose were very good stuff and last 6/8 years of old fuel was dumped and couple of bottles of 2 C oil in tank and pump thru system
There are a couple different kinds of fuel line now, but the cheap stuff is garbage.
I have one that the Rope is hard to pull can you help with that
There could be a couple reasons. First I'd take the chain off, then pull the spark plug out and see if its still hard to pull. If so, it's an internal engine problem. Seized piston, possibly seized crank bearings. You'll have to decide if it's worth fixing it at that point. Thanks for the question!
Hi. I wanted to ask. Where you find. Parts that are. Specific for. Old Mac /Homelite. Saws
I have accounts with a couple different places. Many times the really old stuff requires searching the web for old parts lists, finding OEM part numbers, then seeing if my suppliers have it. More and more now, I have to resort to Amazon or something like that to get the really old stuff.
Or used parts on eBay
You didn't show where the fuel lined to and from the primer bulb were connected to???
If I remember correctly, those lines were fine on this saw. I didnt replace them.
Patrick Cuyno do you still need to know the fuel line routing?

Need to use non ethanol gas, it will save your fuel lines.
Damn. First pull? I have one like it.
Sometimes you can get lucky...lol
Randomwrenching Yeah I hear ya. It’s not a Stihl, Husqvarna or Echo by no means but does okay around the yard. My dad left it to me along with a couple of craftsman (poulan) saws when he passed. Just like the one you have there, barely used. Enjoyed the video
Thank you for making this video. Dad left me his model UT10560 (16" bar with 38cc engine) and it sat in my shed for 9 years with gas in it. Fuel line looked just like yours, all broken and falling apart with the filter just rolling around in the tank. You cleared up a question I had about which line was which. I got confused because another video called that same line the "fuel tank return line".

I'm glad it was helpful for you! 👍
What in heavens name would you plunge cut with that beast, my electric popcorn popper motor would give the old gal a run for its money, it needs an oregon chain and bar, that safety crap is actually dangerous and prone to slipping, mine was d.o.a. right out of the box, the shipping cost to return would have been worth more than the saw, just for shits and giggles ran about a year when I could get it to start, finally ran out of patience and ripped the starter housing right out of the saw, a date with Ruger Superredhawk 44 was all that was required to put her out of her misery for good!!
Well, my personal favorite saw is the old Husqvarna 55. That said, there is a place for these less expensive models out there. The saw was given to me by a buddy who purchased it for one job. He didn't need a high end saw to cut off 12 fence posts...lol. And the fella I sold this Homelite saw to is still using it problem free after 3 years. In any case, when it does come time to put one down, the redhawk is a good choice, but I'll probably go with my GP100 with my hot handloads in it...lol
Parse pabo kota
The biggest pos chainsaw ever I'll bet if you peel off the 42 cc sticker it ll have a 38 pr 35 cc sticker jnder it like mine did
And you pretend that the fuel line passing through the fuel tank is air tight. What do you do about fuel leakage where the fuel line passes the fuel tank? Yeh, SURPRISE SURPRISE.... that is a problem.
The proper sized fuel line in good condition shouldn't leak around there. Old hardened up lines will though.
Homelite is like trashlite
Homelite is far from pro quality, no question. But sometimes, it's all a homeowner needs to get the job done.
Exactly!
