I have a nice Homelite XL-12 that runs good, but is really loud. Probably not as loud as a YAZ, but close. I was looking for a way to make it a bit less noisey, but not hurt, or ruin it.
Easy answer here is to clean it up real nice, maybe a fresh coat of paint and a nice sharp chain...I have a nice Homelite XL-12 that runs good, but is really loud. Probably not as loud as a YAZ, but close. I was looking for a way to make it a bit less noisey, but not hurt, or ruin it.
Yep....shut it off.....nevah start it again...problem solved.... Good dependable saws but they was certainly loud as could be. I have a half dozen or so......Super XLs were even louder.....Easy answer here is to clean it up real nice, maybe a fresh coat of paint and a nice sharp chain...
Then put it on a shelf and buy a modern saw.
I use ear plugs less weight and Effective. Going Deaf is not Cool .I have a nice Homelite XL-12 that runs good, but is really loud. Probably not as loud as a YAZ, but close. I was looking for a way to make it a bit less noisey, but not hurt, or ruin it.
I figured it must be a stacker, they were very popular around these parts and in the fall season when most homes were cutting up wood for the coming winter the air was filled with the harmony of dozens of chainsaws doing their duty.OK guys I get it, it's an old saw, it just runs good. I have a Stihl MS271 and a Echo CS-301 for my tree cutting. This old Homelite XL has the stacks . I had read they came with a muffler later, but never saw one. Sometimes I miss those push button oilers on the older saws.
the mufflers are probably available? it is an old ass saw though.OK guys I get it, it's an old saw, it just runs good. I have a Stihl MS271 and a Echo CS-301 for my tree cutting.

Run a MAC 10-10 for a few hours and yours will seem quieter ! ! ! For you or your neighbor? I just wear ear plugs but I sandblast for a living so I always wear them(my father didn't and I didn't want to end up with my favorite word being "WHAT"....and it isn't by the way!!!!) If it's for your neighbors that could be tougher...I have a nice Homelite XL-12 that runs good, but is really loud. Probably not as loud as a YAZ, but close.
