Think I am still buzzin from running the xl 700 today in some big pine that the right of way clearing people left-Its my new saw test area . Ha ha

 

[Boomer 87]

I got some car parts to sell first if i make enough there i wont sell any saws

 

[Kensie1988]

Well let me be clear, im keeping muscle saws regardless of brand so my super xl 923 w/ 36" bar stays, but i do got a few super xls or xl12 an echo or two one dolmar but it stays also i MAYBE will sell a poulan super 25 or two

And I was just about to call dibs on the 923!

 

[Kensie1988]

I'd definitely consider taking that purty blue homie off if you though.

 

[Boomer 87]

Which one lol actually ones a super xl ones a super xl 15

 

[Kensie1988]

Super XL-15 you say or 12?

 

[astnmacgto]

Super XL-15 you say or 12?

15!

 

[Kensie1988]

Wow, even better! Do you have any pics of it? And I saw someone say the other day that the difference between the 12 and 15 is a gear reduction? What's the difference between the regulars and the supers? And the super XL and super XL-12?

 

[Boomer 87]

Super xl are 58cc xl.12 are 54cc

 

[Boomer 87]

The 15 was gear reduction but it was all in the clutch cover which is missing so its direct drive now

Ohh well that sucks, I suppose that the one with the red cover?

 

[Kensie1988]

So this is what the inside of the fuel tank looks like, I take it that isn't good?

 

[astnmacgto]

I've seen worse but yes I would still coat it

xl700--On mine liner is great but at cap threads the liner is loose--when you pour in gas half stays in tank and half runs on ground. Bucks logs great just can't cut any trees down-plus the fuel economy sucks-ha ha. These old saws are to loud,heavy.no anti vibe. pump oilers. no safety brake.no new parts,got to put in carb kit-fuel lines then still got to work on them sometime and then few under stand me and my hobby. I am going to sell them all and start collecting stamps and battery powered chainsaws!!!! David-Former cad guy. PS -gonna sell my 94 ford ranger--V6 4.0 liter an buy a toyota prius

Let me know how that works

 

[Boomer 87]

Your idea sucks

 

[46 Poulan]

This is all Boomers fault-He said something about just having 2 brands of old chainsaws--I panicked--I am half asleep-the above post was just a bad nightmare I had last night--It seemed so real and I do not even like stamps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Boomer 87]

I try to delude myself sometimes theres a good chance i wont sell a one

 

[Boomer 87]

Unless i find another i simply cannot go without

 

[Kensie1988]

I was still planning to coat it but, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't too far gone before I wasted my time.

On a lighter note, I might very well have discovered the lean erratic run on my 925, looks like the low needle port may be completely plugged
