Here you go Cliff, I sure do like them Wildthingys...
Sweet
XL-101 Project saw.
This Homelite XL101 chainsaw | eBay showed up today. Brown ground took only two days from Michigan to St. Joe.
Blows 120 psi and will make a good victim for the near mint piston and cylinder I already have on hand. Came with a serviceable 16" b/c with a McCulloch(!) part number on it. Metering lever was set way too high and now I got it set too low.:bang: I wish the metering side of the carb was on the top instead of the bottom. Has the cast alum. 'muffler'.

Not finished cleaning it up yet and like I said need to go through it a little more. What do you think Cliff?
Sweet... I think you and I are the only ones around here that like that saw...
We need pictures though...
i like it Jim...Looking forward to using it...but take your time...I know you are busy.
I put that Dolmar next to my 440. Maybe some good will rub off on it.

Don't be to sure of that Cliff. I'm digging it, and am still hurting inside for not buying Ron's XL904 from him before you did. Get that thing running right dammit......................or forfiet to me. I've gotta get offa my butt and buy the gaskets, seals, and bearings need to finish up my XL903 project. Love those saws.

That 904 is almost in too good a shape to run...its that nice.
I might restore the 700 who knows

Yes it is ALMOST too nice to run. You MUST get it running right, and carfully/lovingly use it. That saw deserves it.
I need to get with Mark and find out what to do with the carb...

Mister Wizard
Yep. Through much blood, sweat, tears, and toil...........he seems to have figured out the cranky Tilly HS carb thing.
I hope to get it going.....I cant find any post about it though.

View attachment 186881 So the avg Temp this week is probably 75 F that is 90+ on Monday and Tuesday..... barely 60 F and rain today. I wack away on this test log with my ice saws.(punky maple) I am chilly and wanted a fire Mr. Super wiz got a rin today. I like making chips 1/2 pitch chain makes lots of chips.
We started cutting then stopped to get ear plugs.....
When I was done splitting by hand I was not chilly anymore. still made a fire.
Good day Mike

ModifiedMark started a thread about his SXL925 late last year IIRC. The title had something to do with being angry, or frustrated, or 'fed up' IIRC. Search his 'threads started by' list in his profile.

LOL. Looks like the search engine still won't go far enough back. My phone locks up when doing google searches on the site(home computer is in the middle of 'no-man's land' in the daughter's slumber party right now). I feel like I'm holed up in a 'panic room'...
