Accidently posted in trading post. Reposting here.
Possible project saw. I dont have it in front of me only pictures.
Any hope of getting the exact model?
The guy knows nothing about saws so cant ask him any questions?
Thanks.

Could be an 850, 870, 875, 902am, or a 904. It could even be a 913, 923, or 925 with parts from the others listed. If you can find something with the serial number or part number that will help.

Thanks guys. Sounds like it’s probably and 82cc saw then. I’d probably roll the dice on it for $25 if it turns over. Hard to tell though without a pull rope. What are the parts availability on these things? Fuel/ignition parts?

Carb is probably a Tillotson, I've yet to find one of those I can't get a kit for, for the ignition parts I have no idea.

Seems like a good, used, straight old saw. If the engine is good, it's easily worth 25 bucks. Not being an expert on this series, I couldn't say what model it is. Like the other guy said, swapped parts will muddy the waters but this saw looks pretty original.

Most parts are still available.

The carb kit will be a RK23HS and are readily available both aftermarket and OEM.
I just did a XL-903 and an XL-800

I just noticed the wrap handle bar and that alone is worth $25! Actually it's garbage you should send it to me for proper disposal [emoji57]

It is definitely a XL-904

$25 is a great deal even if it don’t turn over! Looks a lot like my 875.

I have the XL-870, same as the XL-875, but with solid state ignition. but after looking over my XL-870 it looks like it could be a XL-875, XL-870, or XL-904

You can do whatever you want to, no need to be so defensive, but I think the OP has probably made a decision after 3 1/2 years
