I have a Homelite XL2 Auto that I’m having issues with. The saw was given to me because the guy couldn’t get it to fire at all. I rebuilt the carburetor, checked and cleaned the reed, put in a new gas line and filter, spark plug, duck bill in fuel tank and also cleaned the points, adjusted the points gap(which was way off) and checked the air gap. I also checked the compression before doing all this which was 135 psi. I got the saw to start and rev up but then quits. I have to use the choke to restart but then it does the same thing. I started with the low speed at 1 turn out and it got a little better as I backed the low speed out all the way to 3 turns but still quits. I pulled the plug and it’s dry and a grayish color. Where should the low speed be to start with before tuning ? Anyone have any ideas for me to try ?
thanks for any help
