Came across this page this morning. Not going to copy his picture, but check out this guy's Homelite saw, got a couple other saws on his page if you scroll through it. Has anyone else seen a spark plug like it before? First time for me.

Yep, the ol tj8j, also required a special cap, I still have one, the caps had A/C embossed in them and had an angled top IIRC, my buddy just bought an NOS box of tj8j's off the bay a few weeks back, were a common sparkplug on some of the early Homies.....

I can't see the link but if it's the one I'm thinking of there is a Super XL right now on the Bay, it's an old blue one and it's got a curious spark plug on it with a different cap.

Yep, it's an xl-100 circular saw. Seeing it started another raging fire in me, and the want list grows....

Here's a pic of the cap, it's one listed on the bay right now, unfortunately only the one pic, but the angle can still be seen....

Sure is a funny looking thing. Anyone know why they got away from that plug design?

Most likely cost more than anything, I really don't see why they used them in the first place, a standard cj8 works/fits just fine in any of the saws that used the tj8j.....

If anybody wants to switch jobs for just a bit, i just started an engine job on a duramax that smoked a piston, gotta pull the cab off.......if i make it through this week without killing something itll be a miracle

Sold a xl12 to a buddy that had that style of plug

No thanks. Last fall we had to take apart dad's 6.6 Duramax 3 times for bad reman injectors. Wouldn't be fun unless they were under the valve covers. I feel for you. Those engineers!!!

And I walked all over the mill today, definitely a different animal

Just paid for an 041 Super today so it should be headed my way soon!!

Here's some old school 5 cubes side by side. Both from the 70's but very different in design. They do have some similar features but completely different set ups for the features.

I just pulled the trigger on a meteor cylinder and piston kit for an 044. I like 044/046 builds.

A Zip and a SilverKing I got from an old guy a while back. The Zip looked good, started and ran, but had no power, it had worn through the chrome lining, not scored just worn the **** out.
The antique shows little use, the corn popper motor cracks me up.

Anybody here know anything about Bluemax chainsaws?? Got 2 for free, both have 20" bars, 3 chains a piece, and both run well.
I believe they are the 52cc models.

I'm thinking there may be some modding done in the near future...[emoji41]

I've seen ads for them. They are pretty cheap new but either way free is great
