On early production XL-101 types with the three screw 'magneto backplate', the screws vibrate loose and they suck air. Homelite solved the problem with five screws licktited in on the later saws.

didnt know that, i found a couple that had silicone rubbed on cracks on the case seem on the bottoms, figured it was the air leak

The very early ones had the fuel & oil tank covers glued on with epoxy. When the saw was yanked on in a pinch it broke the seal and it was leak city. Subsequent fixes failed to erase the poor reputation of the design so the XL-101 type never replaced the XL-12 or Super XL as Homelite intended it would.

The XL-101 is noticeably smaller and lighter than an XL-12. Homelite's 54cc lightsabre they are.

Morning midlanders!

Not 1 to nitpick but "licktited" made me laugh.

Just the downside of posting with one's IPhone.

Trying to edit is even worse. You can never get the curser to go where you want. Then the auto spell correcting feature jumps in and it all goes to hell.

Morning fellas!

Heh. Went to a Wire Rope retirees dinner last night. Forty geezers with cell phones passing them around to show pictures of our grandchildren. What a hoot.

If you use a stylus or pencil eraser it is much easier to edit.

i got one them thats in pretty fair shape too a new piston is kinda rare isnt it? or is it just cylinders that are hard to find?
i got a XL104 that i needs a piston and cylinder for, its common for then to get case vacuum leaks, that toasts the Pand C

Yeah pistons aren't so hard to find but cylinders are rare! I need a XL 12 cylinder BAD for a while now.
