Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

[67L36Driver]

Hello from Romania! I have a Remington SL 11 saved from the dump. The piston and cylinder are dead. Is this engine used on other saws[Homelite XL] .It seems to be 48,5 bore X35 stroke.

Remington 'engine' is unique to Remington saws.

But, there is a strong possibility that the Homelite Super XL piston will fit/function in the Remington SL-11 or PL-5.

I have not personally tried one yet.

New Homelite pistons are offered by eBay seller llrdbrn.

Good luck with your project.

After a closer look i think the cylinder is OK, the piston has a little scoring on the exhaust side but will work. What kind of rings can i use in this cylinder? Cabers? Will a Stihl ring work [ modified]?

eBay seller based in Athens
, Greece lists rings by thickness and bore. Shop there. Plan on filing the ends to fit locator pins.

Thanks. I do not have a way to pay the greek, so i think a 49 mm ring, file the ends and file again to clear the locator pin. The ring is[?] 1.5 mm thick. PS : Remington SL 11 on Ebay.

Lmao, Welp if it won't sell at $200 lets try a grand.

Their strategy worked, looks like a Best Offer was accepted pretty quickly.

 

[idiotwithasaw]

Good for them. Lol

Maybe Carl now has a Super 990?

Nope! Not me. I don't bid on items listed by crazy people.

Any way to tell what it sold for?

I have a Remington PL5 with a roller nose bar in .63 gauge but the chain on it is only .50. So I'm wondering what other bars would fit so I can run .50 chain on this saw?
I have bars for older Homelites, Pioneer and Poulan. Perhaps my 19" roller nose bar will be for sale.

 

[67L36Driver]

Homelite bar is the way to go. Anything that fits XL-12 or Super XL.

Thanks that's great, I just picked up two old pioneers and an XL12 with good B&Cs. Only 16" but that's OK

Try and see if some 3/8" x .063" will fit. Maybe the groove is worn enuff.

I did that on the 30" on my PP655BP. Had to spread the rails in a few spots but it worked.[emoji12]

Actually all three chains are .63 as are the bars of course. I'm just trying to find a bar and chain combo that will match for the Remmie. It's not a saw that will ever get much use. Thanks for the input.

Ozark engineering.

I used a thin chisel to spread the rails at the tight spots. 30" guide bars don't grow on trees. From 050" to .058" not big of a jump.
