Get in late and I am 3 pages behind--Funny-Back healing-Can't cut wood yet--Storm trees down--bigger than I will ever see. Working on saws--At least I can still talk on here daily about CAD and etc...Kensie--hang in there--may put them on a shelf and come back later. I got really bummed out the other day. Removing flywheel on a 90cc poulan gear reduction bow saw. Tapped on crank like I have done all these years on small engines and about 3/4 of an inch of crank breaks off--man of all the saws or engines it had to be this one--biggest saw I own.One day I will tell what model saw it is and yall can help me find a used crank!!

I have some kind of funky looking old Poulan. I'll have to dig it out. It's got the carburetor inside the housing with a cover plate. It's old and a big saw. It might have what you need

Tapping out? Hell, I just came in from the garage doing some impromptu work on my axe, in my boxers and boots lol, it's was chilly

You're more hardcore than me. It's about 69* out and I was cold

You know Kensie(like he has 5 saws on his super duper work bench) He may be getting all the parts mixed together like Stihl flywheel on a Homelite or a husky 42 inch bar on a little homelite xl. Thats what I think is happening.My bench is small---------NO I AM NOT ENVIOUS!!

Its a sandcast type. I will have to get a model # It may be common to other saws of that time--thanks for checking--there is hope for me or I may just go back to the exciting world of stamp collecting Carb is inside and think it has a plate and fuel cap on both sides

OVER AND OUT

It's something like this but I don't remember the model. It is missing the wrap handle and clutch cover and maybe more. I don't remember but it did turn over and have a little compression. Its somewhere. I also have a model 33 that runs but it looks like the piston started to score and some one just replaced the rings, I dunno. Anyways, the saw in question looks something like this

(not my saw pictured)

I've had the same problems many times. I have a homelite xl-101. That ran before a carburetor rebuild but not after. An a super pro 60 that would not stop leaking gas out the muffler and it took a NOS carburetor to fix it. My rebuilt pro Mac 700 has an air leak somewhere and has to be gone through again. I know how you feel

I read the homelite xl-101 was like a hotrod for its size. Thoughts??

I think it was, mine is pretty nice and comes with a case. I'm thinking it's 54cc

I'll get it out sometime. I don't have to have much for it. I'll look for it next time I work on saws. Mine is beige in color.

They talked about the power to weight ratio was good--Is it pretty strong? Been on the look out for one.

I gotcha. The one I have was pulled from the scrap pile. I figured someone would need something from it.
