Also, I replaced all the soft parts in the carb and put everything back in. I'm going to see how it runs, if it runs. Maybe with some luck I won't need to replace the crank seals. Is there anything special I need to know before I put all the flywheel and stuff back on? Is there a certain torq I need to tighten that nut to?
 
Been there done that the one mounting bolt you can get out just taking the side plate off (the one with the adjustments), remove the other side plate AND take off the flywheel housing, behind the flywheel on the right side of it theres a half moon shaped piece of metal with two bolts remove that and it puts you right inline with the other mounting bolt. You dont have to remove the flywheel. Then the carb comes out the adjustments side

Im sure theres a torque spec but idk what it is, i just tighten it down while holding the flywheel with one hand, when I overpower my holding hand with socket and ratchet i call it good

10-4--Thanks--Saw back in storage--no pics --David -What part of Illinois you in--I use to go to Peoria with Cat training.
 
So guys I have good news and bad news, good news is the saw started up today and for the 30 seconds it ran it sounded pretty good. The bad news is I broke the recoil arms on the flywheel and that broke a fin off as well.

What happened-Recoil not engaged properly --spinning engine with a impact- took a good bit to break it.?? trying to do a failure analisis. David
 
If there the same as a super xl i got you covered as far as the dogs are concerned. I bet when the saw died it whacked the starter dogs good and hard. On those type of starters i always pull out the rope 6 inches or so that way when i kill it it just pulls in the rope.
 
That could have been what happened, it was hard to pull at first but once the fuel and oil got into the cylinder and lubed it up I got a good clean pull on it the second time, heard the the idle down that signified take the choke off and pulled again and that bad boy started up on the third pull, then I was turning the idle screw down because it was way to high and I went to far and as I was idling it back up she cut out on me. Went to start it again and nothing.

And the part number for the SXL-925 and the SXLA are the same: Part No. 58756
 
Check on the flywheel also if its the same ive got a bunch of complete flywheels. If its the same of youll cover the ride you can just have one
 
Man you guys should have seen my face when that thing started up after only 3 pulls and was running. Especially after I broke the wire on that coil, soldered it back together, then put everything back together again. I also replaced all the soft parts while I had the carb out.
