Homelite Chainsaws

[sawnami]

I ran across a 36" belt-drive bar so I put a loop of NOS chipper chain with it and put it on the 5-30N and tried it out. I was concerned about breaking the belt because it was original but toward the end I leaned on it pretty hard and it made bigger noodles.

This XL-1 sold locally for $500 (ish).

It was quite a while ago.

Buyer tried to flip it for $750.

At any rate, put it up on evilbay and start at $0.99. You will soon find out it’s ‘worth’.

I’ll get to cleaning it when it warms up here. What saw is this based off of guys? XL? I’m not all that familiar with homelights. 58cc, something in that ballpark? Thanks

Every so often a plan comes together.

XL-12, 54cc for the XL-100

Super XL, 58cc for the XL-120

She’s a runner! Pulled the carb off and did a quicky threw it. Didn’t even need a kit. Metering valve was stuck closed. And it blew 130 psi. Not to shabby, that was before I got it going. Started cleaning the grime off. Pics to fallow when it’s a bit more presentable.

Picking away at an early Super XL-130. I had to take it to the car wash and hit it with the pressure washer just to get it half clean. It had clearly been running hot. The plastic jacket on the back of the coil had melted to the cylinder. No doubt, given the PTO side was not sealed from the FW side properly from the factory. The hose that was supposed to stuff the gap was never put in properly. Note (pic. 4) the strand of stuck paint "holding" the hose in place and the clear shot for gunk to find its way across to the other side. Pulled cylinder, piston and rings to clean them up. Rings are good. I've run much worse.

Looks pretty good compared to my firewood beater 76. Scored piston, corrosion and other issues. Blows 180 psi though

I just picked up a 5-30 in pretty good shape.. It's in better condition than myself, and we're about the same age.. Any ol who, gave a C note for it.. Is that about right on a gamble?

I would say that you probably did OK, especially if it has the recoil cover still on it.

Got the $2 EZ running, was the dirtiest saw I've ever seen. here's a couple pics, Joe

Cracked me up that the old guy figured out he could loosen the cover and tighten up the spring, because it wasn't rewinding. But, he couldn't figure out how to take the whole recoil off and clean it out. Got it running, it revs, idles, and oils, I'm happy, Joe

I may be mistaken but, an XL-12 piston can be used in a XL-101 and the SXL piston used in the larger bore types.

Check the part numbers in the respective IPLs.

Little Red Barn seller on eBay has them. [emoji106]

Correct. One of my non running SXL’s donated its piston to a real nice XL-103 last year.

Amazing that a saw could run being that choked up. Only a Homie lol.

And, with the skirt shortened in a lathe, the LRB XL-925 piston fits a PL/SL-55 Remington.[emoji108]

Think this is a super wiz 80 . Only says super wiz . Not another number to be had . Gas tank has the white death set in . Anyone have parts or know of another saw that might share its parts ? Saw has great compression , spark and a 60" bar .

I'd sure be liking the 60" bar.
