Miniature Chainsaw Homelite XL

[pitkas]

Man, only if you could find a way to use that saw all day long. It would sure be better than lugging around a 660 or 395.

Gypo what ever you don't embed your pictures you'll get banned from what I hear. Here's the last set of the day going in. It ain't easy but it's tons of fun.

Now I don't feel so bad, if " Big Bad John " can come out in public and show the world that he has a mini XL, I guess I can come out of the closest and say that I have one "oops" two of them one with a big 10 inch on it and the other for the those real big 12 inch logs. plus others

So, when is the big race???

i have 3 of these i got have one that works completly, they work good for some fast limbing, but i was wondering if anybody knew the recommended settings for the fuel screws.

 

[Sequoyah]

I'm pretty sure that fuel mix should 32:1 is how we mix ours. Pretty cool little saws seeing one with a pipe would be cool.

I've got 5 or 6 of those little Homies - XL, XL2, Super 2, I really like those little saws for limbing & small stuff. They're reliable, light and make pretty good power for such a small package........enjoy! Matt

Quad saw

I carry one of these little guys on my quad for trail clearing.Open up the muffler a little and it'll really scream.Working on a 021 to help it out a little.Just made a "winch boom "for the back of the quad to use as a little skidder.Lots of wood thats to hard to get to.I'll try to get pics of my rig posted.

Ive got one from 1979, Metal case version.

Great saw, has dropped tons of medium and small trees, limbed them, then cut em up into firewood. Worked like a dog after Ivan, I went through a few chains cutting stuff up with a 16" bar and 3/8" LP.

Then something happened, Im not sure what, but it refused to idle, and seemed to run very lean.

So now Im looking for a new carb, also need a fuel tank for it.

I've got the same exact saw. Mine has low, high, and idle screws. All right there together. It will idle indefinately and purrs like a kitten. I believe it's only 26cc though. The filter setup is rather odd. Nothing to hold it in place.
That's just how they work though.

Same model and all? I didn't know they made a metal one. Oh well, I suppose mine's lighter. Look on the bright side.

I was just wondering how you guys were making out and wether you got the timber down and out yet?

That's so

this really old thread deserves a bump for those who aren't aware of John's sense of humor (humour in Canada).

And since my search brought me to this thread,
I might as well ask--Does anyone know anything about the
Homelite Little Red XL?

Somehow missed this thread but just read through it. Here's a couple months old pic of a Homie XL I found locally in a classified/sell ad...scored the saw for $5, bought the red Homie bar from a member here to throw on it...bar that came with it was pinched pretty bad. Running 3/8 LoPro.

I always keep one of those in my arsenal for the little trimming jobs. I changed the carb on mine to a conventional H and L screw type.

That bar really makes the saw. Almost too purty to run.

I pretty much have relegated it to my first 'shelf queen' duties...lol.

Hit the nail on the head with that one...the filter element setup is strange to say the least. I may try to rig something up that drapes over the filter housing to keep it sitting on the carb a little better...just not much room to work with.
