Homelite xl

[sawboss]

Just dug a little homelite xl out of a dumpster the thing has good compression but didn’t have any fire so I fixed the points on it and replaced a coil now it runs with gas pored in the carb so it’s worth making it run I was looking for a carb kit for it but all I can see is it is a tillotson carb not sure I will find that kit but is there a walbro carb that will work.

If it’s a HS series carb kits are readily available.

Thinking it’s a little 30cc Super 2 type saw, not a 60cc SXLAO, but hard to tell with no photos & no carb number…the little saws used a HK series carb back in the day. If it was me, I’d pushed the POS saw deeper in the dumpster & thrown more trash on it!

Thanks I ordered that kit we will see if it works if not I’ll have it for another day

Looks like a HK series. The kit you ordered is the one you need for that carb.

Look on the sides of the main body of the carb. A string of numbers and letters should be visible but the characters are very small. It will show the carb’s series, be it HS, HL or HD. Pretty sure HK is the designation for a Tilly carb rebuild kit, not the carb. I rescued one of these saws from a garbage can years ago. Took a bit of time and effort to get it going but it has since been my saw for small work.

How sure? Those carbs were HK series, here’s the kit list for them, plus some other oldies.

Their kit nomenclature ended with the series.

Thanks for clearing that labeling issue up. I wasn’t absolutely sure. Rebuilding those carbs is straightforward. It’s that pressurized oiling system with the duckbill that’s a bit wonky. Took me a while to get that working right.

Thank you I got a kit that had all three options in it it worked good for me did you ever replace crank seals if so could you tell me what ones enter change with the xl all I find is for supers this is my first with homelite so I’m in the dark with their parts

I suggest contacting Leon’s Chainsaw Repair. I got my seals, piston and rings from him. He’s knowledgeable and helpful.
