I guess they had to use up the blue parts before making the changeover to red.

super 2
Hello all,
I have just started working on a Super 2 that we have had since I was 10, 40 now. I need a few parts for it. Any recommendations on a supplier? I need a carb kit, recoil spring, sparkplug, chain adjuster braket and screw.
It runs pretty well, not alot of compression. I just like using it sometimes its light and handy.
Thanks in advance for the help

Just got this SXLA from a friend.
Just got this SXLA from a friend. I was told it hasn't run in over 10 years.
It was his dad's, but he had no interest in fixing it. Someone got as far as removing (and losing) the air filter and cover to attempt to replace a dead fuel line.
I haven't pulled the muffler, but it felt like it had good compression. So I tested compression. 135 psi after 4 or 5 pulls. So I poured a bit of fresh premix into the carb and after 15 or 20 pulls it started and ran nicely.
I was originally going to pass the saw to someone who did have CAD, but I think now that I'll fix it, at least if the cylinder isn't scored. I think all it will need is a carb rebuild, new gas lines, and an air filter and cover.
I need some help with the serial number. I did find a post with serial number translation info, but my saw's info wasn't there. I think, based on the color and 8 digit serial number, that it's an early saw. Here's the info from the tag:
Suffix: AO
Serial Number: 03326520
What do you guys think? Fix it? Any serial number help?
I should add that if I do fix it I need to keep things on the cheap side due to my unfortunate lack of employment.

I know this isn't much of a saw but I think they are kind of cute. I got this one without a bar and a chain, but the guy started it and it runs. He wanted $10 for it. I thought that was fair for a running saw. He is 63 years old and he said his father bought this saw a long time ago. I have one similar to it but my other saw is missing the forward trigger for the throttle.
O.K. I know it doesn't compare to my 923 but it costs a lot less...he he.
Somebody seems to have stripped out some of the screws and replaced them with larger ones. By the amount of paint worn off the handles I would think this little saw has seen a lot of wood.
Is there any way to tell when this thing was built by the seriel number?
Stephen purty soon you will need a bigger table to put them on you running out of space on that work bench ?
Late '60s Saws All XL12 Clones?
Reading about the fabled XL12 and what happened after it came out in '64, I've been looking at my Remington-made saws in a new light. Are they really just all copies of a Homelite?
I have to thank you all, I have '65 and an '85 versions of this saw that fell into my lap and might not have thought much of them if I hadn't joined here.

There have been several Roper, Remington, Lombard, Poulan, Echo, and other saws that were "strongly influenced" by the landmark XL12 family. Not straight "copies".........................but not "clean sheet" designs either...

And Pioneer, and Dayton, and I have a Campbell Hausfield that looks like a lombard, that looks like the xl12. haha

I have heard a number of times the XL series is what changed the saw world, and the more I learn here, the more I can believe. I have a Lombard, made in the late eighties, that I thought was just a rebadged XL 12, but they actually made the thing themselves, if I painted it red and applied decals no one would know the difference. Also have a Dynamark version, bigger fuel tank but same chassis. Apparently the patent lawyers were all sleeping or out to lunch.

Enough talk of these little saws, here's some of my biguns. I picked up a good chain grinder recently and now I can finally touch-up those rocked-out big pitch chains that came with otherwise great saws.
This is a 9-26 sporting 1/2" full chisel and a 32" bar. Got the saw from a member here and just got her running today. The bar/chain came off, of all things, a Super 1020XP Auto. The rails on that bar were crooked and forcing the chain to cut in circles. Put it my combo disc/belt sander and squared it right up. Square-ground this chain with my old SDM4. Not surprisingly, seemed to cut the fastest of the pair.
My old 900G is carrying 9/16" full chisel, 36" bar and an 8-tooth gear (I don't think this is particularly common.) I kept this chain in retirement till I could finally get it to a round grinder. Funny thing, I always recalled this chain being a link too long when I originally got it. So, before I ground it, I shortened the chain up. When I tried to install it, I could not get the loop to fit at all. I tried a 7-tooth gear with no success. So, wondering what crack I was smoking when I first got the saw, I put the link back in and pretended the whole thing ever happened.
Had a hard time getting the camera to focus, probably because of the failing light. Now, I just wish I could really work these saws out.

Terrific looking saws Chris!!!! Those original mufflers are nice, and really set these models apart from their younger brothers.
Thanks for posting the pics.
