That's cool Tim. Thanks. I know who to ask when I get the other 2 homies back from dad.
Here's the dating sheet so you can figure it out. It's from Homelite.
Right click is your friend.
What's a Super VI?
XL-101 type or Super EZ?
XL-101 type or Super EZ?
Hi Carl,
If you were asking about the VI200 it's basically an XL-76 (100 series) saw. The islolators on the saw are in perfect shape and not the least bit hard but I don't perceive much difference in vibration compared to my XL-76's.
The 76's really don't have much vibration anyway.
Nope. Not that.
A "VI Super" is listed on evilbay. Looks like a Super EZ with antivibe.
On closer inspection, it has the (Unobtainuim) carb box broken.

Thanks Ms. Wilson!

Yep. Super EZ engine. VI Super Mini
I'd be on it like stink iffin it weren't broke there.[emoji6]
I may have a donor if the ebay saw just sits stagnant for a day or so. Will check unless it already sold.
Well, no VI Super 2 donor. Thought I had one, but only found some of the little XL variants in a quick look through the batch. So what exactly is/was broken about the carb box on the ebay saw? I can't visualize it.
Not sure if it's still up, but if it is, there's crack all across the back under the rear handle. If you scroll through the pics you can see it.
Gotcha. Busted engine housing.
That's part of the rear handle bar.
I do have an XL-1 (budget EZ) with a cracked engine case. Not sure how someone managed to do that.
I just couldn't visualize a broken "carb box" as such. Never did find the listing to see the pics, but didn't look too hard either.
It's here Poge. Sold for $29.88.
Look at the third pic just above the on-off switch.

Not sure how I got VI Super 2 in my head. 
Sorry.
Sorry.
