Any suggestions on the carb? Got the saw for free, he just wants to borrow it when needed. Definitely one of my groundwork chains but would guess it would be the best he has worked with considering how I have seen all the saws he has used.
I have already ordered parts that I know need replacement, and that it is a cheap saw so that leans into pricing things of course.
But for free, getting it running right for under 60 bucks is a bargain. Just limbing and other work for that one, got a couple of 700 dollar saws I am saving for to have for next wood season. Hopefully hit my target in my woods maintenance then get a few semi loads of log length to process and sell 40-60 cord.
100% not a saw I would buy for myself.

Homelite xl-850, 550 and 2 - 330’s
Husky 55 and 240
Ryobi c4618
Shindaiwa 488
Stihl 031
Mcculloch welded tip bar
The 550 caught fire at some point but the rest all pop on fuel. Ironically, the newest one, the 240, is the one giving me the biggest problems so far.

Nice score! Does your Homelite 550 have the full wrap handle? Be prepared to replace the rubber boot between the carb and cylinder. What caused the fire, do you know? Great looking Shindaiwa as well. Enjoy!

550 has the full wrap, looks like the fire started around the spark plug boot and melted the handle and trigger too. Im guessing fuel leak from the carb dribbling down. He also just gave me a husky L65 or L77 as far as i can tell. Haven’t found any numbers off it yet.
65 has the plug hidden under the top cover.

You may be asking the wrong person ;o) I'm mostly into older 60's-80's saws (usually can't afford the really nice pre 60's models), so for me the L65 (and the Homelites) would be more of a keeper than the 55 and 240 for example. But if it is for every day use I wouldn't necessarily go that way ...
Those 65s kind of run the gambit, a really nice one is a 200-400$ saw but I find them for 20-100$ range alot.
The 77 version is more desirable.
Free on roadside.
Wouldnt pump past 65
Removed cover, loose 3/8 coper line from head to tank.

what's the wrench hangin there?
50mm converted to door handle, freeby
Boy don’t I feel like a dummy,I read the description before scrolling down for the picture.”What kind of chainsaw has a 3/8 copper line from the head to the tank?Well he fixed the compression issue!” Then I saw the picture
Y’all be good and stay safe!
Garage Sale: 2 saws and non-matching case: $20. I'm not much for Poulans of that vintage, but how long would someone have to search to find a cleaner SXL??. And I've got plenty of Stihls that will fit in that case.
Happy hunting! O

Nice score! I’m not familiar with the Homelites,what size engine does it have? Be Safe!
58cc, as i recall. I have two XL 12s (55cc), two other Super XLs, and an XL-923 (82cc) and several smaller Homies of the same vintage. O
Beautiful SXL. Charlotte SXL's from that period of time appear to have exceptional paint that resists wear and tear. Enjoy it!
