Homelite Chainsaws

[Maintenance supervisor]

I know not everything on acres site is always accurate but when did these saws have the sdc put on them or did these always have them and the site just lists the HL tillotson in correctly?
Fyi I primed it and checked the tank all seemed good and she fired right up , even oiled the chain.
I didn't see a decomp, am I missing it?

No decompression on the 100cc saws the 1050 ran 2 carbs but the sdc carbs with fixed high side were run on the later model super saws... I have seen more with the sdc then hl

Sweet grab

Thanks I'm pretty pleased, the same fellow has a very clean c5, and thought this was the same saw only red, but I was pretty sure that all the big saws were red.
Im pretty fond of the sdc carbs, not super familiar with the few hl's I have .

1050 performance will be exciting compared to c series ...

Cool, when I get it cleaned and inspected I'll make a cutting video.

Doesn't the 1050 use the idle fuel bypass line from the the carb mounting flange to the cylinder? I don't see one on this one.

Got another runner!!!! Homelite XL102. Replaced the rotted fuel line and cleaned and gapped the points and off she went. Will need to get a bar and chain on it and tune it in wood but seems pretty good.

Looks like my super XL automatic

The XL102 is smaller. It is the same displacement as a Super XL but it is closer in size to a Super EZ.
I have 3 Super XLs too

Made some test cuts with this saw the other night. This thing is a beast for its size! The bar that came with it is pretty well spanked. What is the easiest bar to adapt to this saw? This uses the same narrow tail bar as the super EZ.

Closest modern equivalent is the K095. The earlier Homelite mount was similar (narrow tail). Of the 30 or so XL-1/Super Mini XL-76/130's that have come through here, only a few came with the original narrow tail (hard-nose) mount and one came with the proper sprocket tip. Most came equipped with the larger UXL/196 mounts and sported stud shims (s-spacers). I suspect that mount (at least in Canada) was simply adapted to fit from the factory. One bar fits many sort of mentality. Echo and Poulan often used the larger UXL mount with shims as well. Old Windsor catalogues actually spec the UXL mount for the P-series saws as well. Pretty universal.

I haven't run one of the earlier XL-1xx generation saws. But, as you mentioned, I suspect they pull well. As do the later ones.

It's funny you mention the rarity of these bars, I have this saw and an original blue EZ. Both have the original sprocket nose, narrow tail bars.

One of the junk XL-12s I found came with a s- clip and the d196 mount does work well on it . I haven't tried a k095 yet but I have made a video of modifications to the k095 for 10 series macs.

Thanks! Definitely looks professional even if it was fabricated, and I'm not sure that it wasn't factory for your saw region. I've just never seen one like it.

An xl12 Auto wearing the same muffler/exhaust sold on UK eBay a couple of months ago. I was intrigued by the "bean can" look of the muffler but wasn't tempted to bid.

Picked up a bar and chain today, D196 went on with just a touch of grinding to the tensioner pin.
I cleaned and lubed the recoil. The damn spring exploded on me. The band that is supposed to rivet it together was broken. I had to get creative with safety wire to get it rewound and installed.
The manual oiler is really hard to press and refills very slowly. It does work however. Should I be thinning my bar oil already? It is t super cold here yet, 30s at night and 50s during the day.
