Same here, especially if it has a good P/C. I've got enough projects already (more than enough), but I'd be interested in it as a parts saw for sure.

I really think the case must be damaged under that "repair". I'll get a couple pics tonight and post em' up here tomorrow... I think it's good "parts" will be of more use to someone than the saw as a restoration project. Otherwise, I'd just send ya the saw Jerry...:hmm3grin2orange:

lookin at that pic i wouldn't be a bit surprised
Well I have transplanted another motor into the super 2. Now I have no spark. It's a points ignition and I have no clue on these. Same flywheel, coil, points as previous engine. Tried a know working plug. Where do I go from here?.
Homelite W130????
Any of you have info on this saw? I can't seem to find anything.

Looks very similar. The air box cover (if that's what the black top cover is) looks like it may be plastic.
I'm not sure if that's a hand guard or a chain brake but if it's a brake it may have been peculiar to the Canadian market
I had one for sale on there and it was a bunch cheaper than that and nobody wanted it, complete ignition system, I finally threw all my c5 parts together and someone bought them, much cheaper than $73 however.

dude with the $75 is hoping, but it is supposed to be NOS... used ones come up... I just nabbed one myself for my C project saw. it seems worth the trouble to take a chance on the used ones where one can get 3 or 4 of them for this guys' one.

Just pull the flywheel and clean them. Use thin strips of paper. I also have a Super 2 that I just fixed that had points, and a newer electronic one. Nice saws if they run right.
Just paper? Not sand paper? What's points gap supposed to be set to?

Homelite tried to improve the SXL AO but gave up after a while. The XL-101 is much lighter and handier than the XL-12 IMHO.

That's a VI-130. V I (Which looked like 'W' on the cover) stands for Vibration Isolation (Anti Vibe). Acres doesn't list this saw. Since an XL-130 appears to be a Canada only saw (and your saw has a chainbrake) I'll bet your VI-130 was unique to the Canuck market. Does it have the black/silver UT/SN tag? My guess is that it will say "Terry" instead of "Textron". Cool saw. Most of that saw will be just like an XL-130. I may have an IPL for the VI versions...........I'll have to check. If I have one I'll ask you for your email so I can send it to you.
Edit:
I don't have that IPL............but I believe I know where to find it. There's a guy on the House of Homelite Thread that most likely has it. Off to check his list now. BRB.....
2nd Edit:
It wasn't in his IPL list. I did find some posts where folks were talking about their VI-130 saws, so they're out there. Does indeed seem to be a VI version of an XL-130. An XL-130 and VI-123 IPL would cover every part number (if you can't find a VI-130 IPL). Post up in the "Beg for manuals" thread in the stickies section. Somebody may have that IPL (or at least the XL-130 and VI-123 IPL's).

picked up some homie today. a 650 and a genset with 5 gal jerry can with hose attachment .
You can use fine automotive sandpaper, something like #400. I usually check points continuity after I clean them. On the points gap, around .015 will do it.
