Something stronger than glue. Glue will only get you to about $150. Crack will get you to $240. Unless it's something REALLY special, like still in the box it came in, most Super XLs or XL12s sell for $50-75, or less. I paid less.

Mine has a tillotsen carb. How rare is that? What year would that be?

Great saws!! I picked-up another Super XL bowsaw last Thursday for 25.00. It needs a chain and recoil starter spring.

heres your spring

Tillotson's are not rare for this saw. I have 4 XL's and they all have that carb, 2 have the quad reed cage. All have points ignition and the all run great.

Digging fool,
Where did you find a bow saw, I'm watching for one and have been looking. It wasn't a Craigslist saw was it? You mention you picked up another, how many do you have? Any pics?

Here is my red SXL, it's a good running saw.

Here are my 2 newer finds, the one on the left is in pretty good shape. The right SXL runs real good but it doesn't have a manual oiler, I don't know if some came this way or it was removed. They are pretty quiet compared to a Mac 10-10 but hopefully the stack exhaust will fix that.

Most of the sxl`s came with auto oilers They seemed to use the old xl12 casings & plugged the oil pump hole with either a black or chrome grommet it`s easy to tell the auto oilers just behind the oil filler plug is approx 5/8th dia slotted round plug if you unscrew it you will find attached a moulded rubber pipe with a fitting on the bottom which is part of the auto oiling system if it has this plug it was not fitted with a manual oiler

Of the 5 SXLs I have had (3 sold) the three red ones had auto and manual assist oilers. I had a new "old blue SXL" that had the manual assist also. The oldest one I had was a carolina blue and white SXL, had the auto oiler and a plug in the maual pump. I have seen pictures of others, but I think most had both oilers.

:agree2: Old Homelite's RULE!!!!

I couldnt agree more I love all 9 of mine and would love to get to run a 750 someday

Has anyone on here modded a 410 with port work and a pipe.. Mine runs really good with Blendzall and i wanna go faster baby!!!

How does the Super XL2 auto fare. I know they are only 26cc odd & I haven't had mine up & running as yet since replacing the on/off switch. It apparently ran well though...

Here, in Europe, a guy can put up an advertisement for $ 400 if someone pays it, it's nice ;-) SXLAUTO

I really like the xl 12 series Homelite saws I like a stack muffler and pump oiler on my bow saws!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah-and a good chain sharpened by me

 

[Piotr Pakula]

Never with a cable with such a body as it is compared to the classic chain guide

 

[a. palmer jr.]

I don't think so as the SXL design was copied by a lot of manufacturers. Take a look at the Poulan 361, SXL, Lombard, and Roper to name a few. I don't know who built the first one, but they sure look alike.

Then when someone went to the vertical cylinder everyone followed suit...

And now the new huskys use a weird 10:00 slant on their jug.
