Did someone say 770G? I'm getting the cylinder shield from CBfarmall (THANKS) so she won't look so naked.

I just finished up rebuilding this Homelite Super XL. It started out with the bottom end case on the pto side only being held on with one bolt/screw. So what I figured happened is it eventually broke the gasket seal and leaned out in a big hurry and turned the piston into shrapnel. After finding all the parts, she runs again with a fancy 24" bar. The only thing I could not find was a reasonably priced air filter cover. So I used one off the old blue doner saw and painted it. Some day i'll paint the homelite and vertical stripes on it white but it looks decent for now.
Next I have another Super XL to rebuilt but a blue version. It actually runs now but needs a cleaning and servicing. (fuel lines and grommets all rotten). Enjoy the pictures.

Hey fellas.
What’s ballpark price range on a Homelite XL based water pump?

Saturday score. My Echo dealer had a customer/friend with two old saws and told him to call me. One was a Super XL Automatic. It was really cruddy dirty with fine saw dust and oil. Had a new air cleaner on it, but under neath, the carb box looked just like the outside of the saw, packed with real fine dust, probably cutting with dull chain. throat of carb was full and choke butterfly was covered. Sprayed it out with breakclean. Primed it with mix, fired right up. Filled tank and primed a couple more times, runs great. The owner said it probably hasn’t been run since early 80’s. Other saw is an Echo 280E, starts on prime but won’t pull from tank yet. I’ll check fuel lines and filter today.
Only pics I have so far, will clean them up later.
There’s one for sale here for 125. Blue and white one, rough, missing parts. I have the parts to put on it but seems high for something that cannot even be tested before buying.
I just finished this xl923. A bit of a moral dilemma now. The saw runs great, piston is perfect and 175psi of punch. The decomp lever is broke and it needs a good bar and chain (came with a ****** lo-kickback) I had originally wanted to sell it and find a 925. Still might but this saw turned out better than I thought.
I bought an Oregon 30" bar and chain combo for one of my XL 9seires, I think it was the 924, pulls it fine. Forget what I paid for it. But consider I don't pay much for whole saws, so it was not a bank breaker.
I keep looking at that one every time I check in. Can't wait till the page changes. I keep thinking I have to at least clean the decades of dirt off mine and see how it looks. All the parts are on it, it's just cruddy. I bought 19 saws out of that shop and they all have many years of crud on them. A couple have been good runners. I think mine is locked up, but I'm afraid to go give it a pull. It already fell off the shelf once and landed on my wife's new Lexus. Lucky for me, it fell bar nose first, hit the bumper, and put a tooth shape nick on the bumper, then fell away from the car.Did someone say 770G?

I had to walk away from a C72 just now. I needed a break.
The plug has fire, but it won't fired on lubricated starting fluid.

What mount/bar length? I've got a few near-new 24 x 3/8 D196 mount bars I need to sell.
I’d be interested. It’s the large mount homelite studs. 3/8” I believe
It looks like D196 mount is 9.5mm, or .374 inches, so I think they're the right mount. I'll have to check but as I recall both bars are 3/8 x 0.050. I'll pm you with pics and details tomorrow.

I've got a 2100 Super that needs some work. Having the devil of a time getting the flywheel off. I am back and forth between Columbia and Greenville. Any chance you would want to take a look at it?
The guys here can probably help you trouble shoot it. Is it dead, half dead, but not running well? I was having a hard time getting the flywheel off my Super 1050 and I think I got the cheap Harbor Freight puller, and then had to get smaller bolts to pull it. I don't think it lined up dead even, I had to play with it, but it worked. I put an electronic chip in that one and it runs great. I also made a puller for one of my XL12's. I took a piece of angle iron about 8" long. Drilled a hole in the center and put a bolt through the hole lined up on the crank shaft bolt. I put a nut on the bolt to keep it from falling out. Then lined up two more holes with the bolt holes in the flywheel, and put two long bolts in them. As you wind the big bolt on the flywheel tight, you have to keep moving the nut up. It works fine for flywheels.
You did what I did, put the spike upside down.Finished the re-restoration on my Super 2100.
