Homelite XL restoration project

[chriskim95]

I have the model shown here http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf/ed1d619968136da688256af40002b8f7/ce0f71a23c6c52da88256c26004cc301?OpenDocument I am on a restoration project. Hasn't run since 20 years ago. Won't start. Are there diagrams and service manuals for this saw? I am also going to put it on a small bike because I already have a good chainsaw. Thanks

I have one, no need to restore it!!! I bought it brand new in 1978. The worst thing on those are the fuel lines rotting, and the vibration cutting. I bought it because the other little saw I was looking at then had no piston rings!!!
I also have a XL1 and the original owners manual, it runs and cuts like new.Have had it 20 years. Paid $25 for it and I think about $80 for the XL.:biggrinbounce2:

Hey, me too, I got mine for 5 bucks at a yard sale last summer. It turned over with a bit of mix in the carb, I haven't played with it since but I will eventually. retro little unit.

The only problem I have right now thats stopping me from tearing it apart and trying to fix it is its snowing outside......
