this is an interesting model in the fact that I dont know of it at all, perhaps a picture of it would be nice if possible.

is it an XL-400 Automatic?
HOmelite XL-400 Automatic I have two of them. Darn good saws. 4.0 cubic inch. I used to run a 24" hard nose on one with 3/8" full chisel. It handled it alright, but you had to kind of feather it through hard wood. IT's automatic oil with manual oiler for backup which works good. My best opinion is put on a 20" - 22" bar with a roller tip, and you'll be able to cut all kinds of wood. It also has a decompression button underneath the trigger for ease of starting. I paid $75 for one used, and around a $100 for the other one which was in better shape with a 20" bar that wasn't any good! But I'd say if in good shape with a decent bar I'd spend around a $100 give or take 10-20. Take care, and GOOD LUCK!
