Got this old Homelite and there is no tags or numbers on it. Anybody know which model it may be??
Isn't this the oiler lever on the left?
Be weird to have a manual oiler on the right, would you use your pinky to operate it? Maybe a left-handed saw?
That's the lever for the oiler, but the oiler itself is over on the right side of the case mounted horizontally. Or, it would be, but it looks like from the picture his is missing. The shaft from the lever runs through the carb chamber. My 955 is set up that way.
No that is the choke lever. A rod run over and hooks to the choke linkage.Isn't this the oiler lever on the left?

I'm thinking maybe it's an XL 800.
My only experience with manual oilers is my XL-12. Still seems bizarre that the oiler would be on the right side of the handle. How would you operate it? Or is there just an auto oiler, and nothing on the right?

The saw has both manual and auto oiler. The manual button is right beside the choke lever. You use your thumb to engage both choke and oilerYou know I hadn't thought of that lever being a choke lever. I've never seen one like that before.
I can say for certain it isn't an XL-800, though, unless they changed the design. My 800 has a "normal" Homelite choke button and no manual oiler. I read that some of the 800's had holes drilled and tapped for oilers (to be added later), but mine just has the little indents where you'd drill the holes.
Does this saw have a manual oiler on it?
On edit: If I don't forget, I'll take some pics of my 800 tonight for comparison.
