I will not have the C series parts you need. All I would have in C series would be complete saws. I am pretty sure I have a new jug and piston for a XL-12. I will try to look tommarrow if I can remember the problem might be the stupid shipping. I will check in a few minutes but I am betting the shipping on a top end is going to be close to what it used to be on a saw. Since you fine folks have to pay tons of duties if I use UPS the only option is USPS unless something has changed. I will check and get a shipping price before we talk part price. It might just floor us both.

Looks like USPS wants a postal code to calculate a price

I just looked up where Irishtown-Summerside is. That is not quite, but juuuuust about as far east in North America as a man can get. It is just past 11PM here and if my research is correct it is 1:30AM there. To put in perspective it is 9:00PM on the west coast.

As for the shipping it is high as heck. I figured 5lbs as it needs packed well and that is $53.35.

That is what I believe and also that they and the 410 were made by Solo. What does make me wonder is that plastic tank assembly I had. I thought it was for a 540 but it was plastic and the one on the 8800 is magnesium.

The 410 was NOT made by Solo, and Solo never made a saw like the 410 The ONLY Homelite saws made by Solo was the 290 and 340

 

[oologahan]

You have any c series parts?

I have C series parts

Who built the saw

Homelite-Textron built the 8800 and 540, I believe Homelite built the 540 for export

Yes

I really thought you were being factious, House of Homelite has been the go to site for Homelite saws for well over a decade. Were you just to lazy to google House Of Homelite?

Okay, so what am I missing, he asked if House of Homelite was still around, I don't get it? If this was internet sarcasm, I'm not a fan, it most often misses the mark. As soon as I sell all my parts and saws, I'll say good by to the whole damn internet, it is a royal waste of time and has become a wasteland of misinformation.
