Homey XL76

[Sprig]

Have a chance to get another one at one of the local junk yards, the guy wants 60$ which is I think not unreasonable (it was 75), has good compression (really good), 24" rollertip (seems ok as does the chain), doesn't seem like it has seen much abuse but I can see some nuts and bolts have been replaced with a bunch of oddball ones, paint is very good but dirty, it ran last year and when I asked if it was emptied afterwards he hummed 'n' hawed and dropped the price after mumbling something about caramelization (DOH! no **** sherlock!). I am fighting the 'chainsaw demons' right now as the one I fixed and flogged last year was a great machine, time ta empty the piggy-bank? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, :help: :help:


Be a great beater, yes? Need to know parts availability and ease of carb kit installation, any other hints, advice, all the regular stuff.............

:chainsawguy: Ooooooooo, me like this one!

Dosent seem like a bad deal to me, but you know how I am with Homies. I kind of like the style of it as its similar to the SEZ and XL-400.


The carbs usually clean up without too much trouble and if it only was a year since it ran it may go with just a couple of good primes down the carb. I have a little plastic bottle that I keep 2stroke mix in just for this purpose.


Parts.....Hmmm......Parts. If you decide to get it and need something give me a shout, I may have something kicking around.
