The Oregon mount code for those bars is A061. They are distinctive, having a square/block shaped cutout at the front of the open stud slot.

You using their bar/chain selector utility? Try another model in the series. XL2, Super2, Bandit, etc. As long as the bar as the A061 or T061 mount code you're golden.
 
No. The original Homelite 'XL' model was the XL-12. Totally different saw than what's been discussed in this thread. The '12' was a reference to the saw's claimed 12 pound dry weight (PHO).

Homelite has used 'XL' for several different (and unrelated) saw families over the decades. XL-12 series, XL-101 series, XL-1 (E-Z) series, XL-700/800/900 series, XL/XL2/Super2/etc series, etc. The numbers rarely had any relation to any aspect/characteristic of the saws....
 
I know this thread is old but it pertains to my situation so perfectly I couldn’t resist reviving it.

I have (I believe) the same saw as the OP and I am having trouble getting it to run.

I can get it to fire up on full joke and it will run for 30 seconds or so then die. I cleaned the entire carb and put on a fresh air filter.

After it dies I have to rechoke it and pull a half dozen times or so then it will fire again and run for 30 seconds or so.

The only thing I can think of is the fact that I don’t have a chain on it current so maybe there isn’t enough “load” on the motor?

Would you expect this saw to run normally without a chain on?

Here are some pics for giggles.
