  If your Homelite chainsaw engine doesn't reach full speed and emits excessive smoke, consider these potential causes: 1. Check the oil fuel mixture. Use fresh fuel and the correct 2-cycle oil mix. 2. The air filter might be dirty. Clean it as instructed in the maintenance section. 3. The carburetor may need adjustment.

  If your Homelite chainsaw starts but won't accelerate, the carburetor may require adjustment. Try turning the "L" needle counterclockwise 1/16 turn. If the “L” low needle cannot be turned counterclockwise, do not force plastic limiter caps and contact a servicing dealer.

  If the bar and chain on your Homelite chainsaw are running hot and smoking, consider the following: 1. The chain oil tank might be empty. Ensure the oil tank is filled every time the fuel tank is filled. 2. Check the chain tension, adjusting it per the instructions in the Chain Tension section. 3. Check for oiler function by running the saw at full throttle for 15 to 30 seconds. Stop the saw and check for oil dripping from the Safe-T-Tip and guide bar. If oil is present, the chain may be dull or the bar may be damaged. If there is no oil, contact a servicing dealer.

To fix this, turn the switch off and remove the spark plug. Turn the saw so the spark hole is aimed at the ground. Move the choke lever to run and pull the starter cord 10 to 15 times to clear exce...
