XL 100 series probably 103-123

 

[Eccentric]

Starter is wrong for the 76-130 series. That's an XL-700/800/900 series saw, and a nice looking one at that..

 

[Eccentric]

what size might that be. I am driving a long way so I am getting an xl12 and a C5 at the same time.opcorn:

77cc/4.71ci or 82cc/5.01ci. Will go nicely with the C-5 and XL-12. Are they as nice as that saw?

 

[Eccentric]

I have a 923 but it is more orange-red...I like this red and white but I don't know what it is.

This is an earlier saw than your XL-923. Same series however.

. After further review it looks to be a 800 series.

Lee,

You've got to get that 923 going and put it to wood. It's by far the most powerful saw you've got and I think you'll be surprised just how strong they are.

I have a handful of the bigger Homelites, a 923 being one of them- I agree get that thing throwin some chips, it chews.

aaaaaand with compression release, that 923 is easy to start I have xl850, without comp. rel. similar size saw.... its pretty good at teaching you how hard to hold the saw and recoil grip:yoyo:

 

[Eccentric]

Thats the best looking XL-12 they ever made.


Because they never made a free one.

They look darn sharp in yellow/black, but I'm partial to the blue and white:

Nice Looking Saw AAron.....

Bet you don't find them that nice on Ebay..........:msp_smile:......Bob

 

[homelitejim]

As long as they start and run I do not care what they look like. Super XL.

I think the blue and white colour (spelled in Canadian for you guys) scheme makes them one of the sharpest looking saws ever made.
I do have a lot of stuff in my tackle box that looks like it came from Pole_an (don't know if I can get used to that)

220 miles and $24 worth of gas.....yee haa...hit the Homelite trifecta...
all good runners with air filters intact....the C-72 started on the 3rd pull the little one is a super XL12 and the one I couldn't figure out is another 923 complete with decomp. and a chrome muffler! the leather scabbard and scrench holder is just a bonus.

The guy also had a David Bradley gear drive that he got from the original owner....it looked to be in ready to use condition with a sharp chain. He said the old farmer that he got it from kept all his equipment in perfect shape. I am trying to resist those old saws but that one is rather cool.

Not unless the saw was bought back in the spring of '07 from a seller who's in the McKenzie River area....eh Bob?


Also, I thought you'd like to know that the C-5 parts saw you sent me a few months after that has helped at least a half dozen guys here over the years.:msp_thumbsup:

Most likely I bein' one of 'em............................................................................:msp_biggrin:

 

[Farley9n]

I Just Wondered

If I could catch you on that! I still have a lot of Homelites to make decisions on. However I am going to keep that 2100s even if it needs another cylinder and piston (HINT). See you in June!!!!......Bob

 

[Mr. Bow Saw]

I like how these look.

Homelite XP 1000

A customer brought in a Homelite Xp 1000 today that he wants running. It has 150 pounds compression and good fire so getting it to run is no great problem except the rewind only catchs about one in ten times.
I removed the cover and it was a new world for me. I have never seen a rewind like this one before. The bearings were pretty much covered in grease. I thought maybe using a degreaser to clean the old grease and apply a light coat of grease would work. Any help would be appreciated. Tom

from what I read elsewhere.... degrease and keep it that way....clean and dry
