Just picked up an old Homelite XL. Excellent condition and runs/idles great. I was wondering if the model designation is simply "XL" or if there's more to it. I'll describe the saw: Small,Red, top handle, 16" Oregon bar" , Left side in circle says " Homelite XL crafted in USA" , Right side in rectangle says "Homelite XL", Adjustable oiler from 1 - 4 , Fuel and bar oil tanks very close together on Left side w/ black lids.
Can you folks tell me if there's more to know about the model than just "XL" ?
Also, the chain that's on it has 60 DL's but it's loose and it's adjusted all the way out. Thinking it may be strecthed a bit I had my dealer make me a new chain with 60 DL's. It fits perfect but the tensioner is adjusted all the way out. What number of DL's is standard for this particular bar/saw ?
