My saw is a UT-10697-B. It has a Zama carb and no impulse barb on the crankcase. I think the carb is a H17A3XP. Is that the right carb number?

Are the old NOS crank seals from the 70's and 80's still pliable enough to be used in saws or are we better off buying aftermarket replacement seals?
That depends on how they were stored. I've seen some that were dry, hard and rotted, others just fine. Newer made seals will be more pliable, just be sure they will work in engines. Just because a AF seal has the proper ID and OD dimensions it may not be meant for engines. You generally want ones with the internal spring.
Thank you.
Finding NOS Seals online for 4-6 bucks a piece or repro for 10. Thinking I'd rather only do the job once so the couple bucks aren't worth saving.
I don't think so. IPL shows C1Q-H17A. Homelite part# A01373
Go here for a IPL (illustrated parts list ) for your saw.

Have a look at this carb pic from Zama to see if it matches yours

XL 12 connecting rod needle bearings found it to have 31. Is that correct? Thanks, David

Chainsaws and Fire Trucks, perfect.
That is correct for late saws, early's used 28.

Hard to tell, this thing is filthy!
Good day of Homelite parts scrounging. Got all of the parts necessary to (hopefully) get my XL and Super XL running.
Dead coil? Or, missing one?

You looking for the electronic ignition blue Prestolite coil? Homelite part# 94605? Those were known to have a high failure rate. You can try baking it in a oven to revive it or buy a new one (recently manufactured). http://m.ebay.com/itm/Homelite-chai...%3A7ec0364015a0a60cf8ce9557fff948a9%7Ciid%3A1
I'll give that a try. I had read a different article and it didn't work for them. But nothing to lose!
Ironically I have done this with automotive coils and it works.

I have one of those coils I got off the bay that doe not work, but I don't know that I have the right flywheel for it. Maybe I will bring it along Wednesday.

Yes, that is it. I finally found the C1Q stamp on it. So I need a carb kit, seals, fuel/oil lines and fuel filter. What size line am I looking for? Can I just get 5 feet of standard tygon line from the local shop?
