I was surprised that this saw got no bids, it's even a runner!

Another Homelite followed me home yesterday.
Low use SXL-925 with a full wrap handlebar and a 28" Oregon sprocket tip. Here it is next to my Super E-Z Western. They make a nice pair with the full wrap handlebars. Some cleaning, a carb rebuild, and a new fuel line and it'll be in the working stable. Noticed that it has a governed Tillotson HS, so I'll be blocking off the governor circuit when I rebuild the carb.

Hiya Norm. You've gotta keep an old Homelite for your stable. Glad you didn't keep that SXL-925 however.

Dammit. Spoke too soon. While the saw starts, revs, and cuts well..................it's acting like it has bad crank seals. Chasing a tune on the L-side, and changes in idle speed when the saw is tilted. Back apart it goes. Does anyone here have the National, SK, or CR part numbers for the 650/750 crank seals? I'd rather order some fresh seals from my local bearing house than mess with overpriced 30+ year old NOS seals on feebay.:msp_unsure:
Nobody has these numbers? I can't believe my only option for this saw is 30 year old NOS seals. I did a search on HOH and found a thread started by Chris B. in 2008 or so. I don't believe he found a match for the seals (he posted that he used NOS seals). I've gotta get this saw done soon. I'll buy NOS seals if I have to, but I'd much rather get fresh seals from a bearing house. Don't really want to pull the old seals 'til I have new ones in hand either...:msp_confused:

Wish I could help, Did you ask Brad Snelling if he knew? not sure if he replaced his or not, I think he had a thread on it but can't be sure. Also might call Saw King in Oregon he would know, or at least sell you some originals.

I haven't asked Brad (or anyone else) individually yet. Will read Brad's 750 thread from in a few minutes. There are a few sellers on feebay (and at least one on HOH) who have NOS seals for sale. Joyce may too. Will ask her first if I end up going the NOS seal route.
I took a NOS set of seals to my local bearing house and they couldn't match anything up. Since I got ahold of a few new sets, I didn't give it much thought and never pursued the issue.
Sorry.
On a cheerier note, I have a big Homey enroute. Begins with 995 and ends with D. We'll see.

Looking for bar source
Can you guys point me to a good source for a 16 or 18 inch bar and chain for a Super XL automatic? A quick search shows me that plenty of aftermarket are available, but can Homelite branded NOS bars be found for a small premium? I am not familiar with the homies as my tastes tend more to the yeller saws. The shorter Mac bars are still plentiful but my brief search shows the NOS homie bars may be a little more rare? This is my 81 year old Dad's saw and he still uses it but his bar is just flat worn out. If I can't find an original, I'll just have to settle for an aftermarket version.
Thanks much,
Jim

aaron - I've had a lot of luck just measuring the shaft and the seat of the seals and looking them up (now knowing the ID and OD). one can do this without pulling the seals.
another, sometimes easier, method is to get the # of the bearing and find the seal that goes with it from the bearing oem. but the seals have to be pulled to get to the bearing, of course.

I am pretty sure that those bars show up on Ebay all the time.

Hi all new to this thread but i have recently acquired this homie xl 903 and with a lil fuel and a lot of pulls SHE RUNS!!!
Now to find a decent bar n chain the bar (18'') it came with is shot.
There is a decent amount of carbon build up in the muffler and looks like a lil carbon smudging on the piston but has good compression. what is the best way to get rid of the carbon?
Also what size bar would be a good match for it i was thinking somewhere in the 24-32 range maybe a lil bigger if it can handle it but not exactly necessary
does anyone have any feed back on this particular model saw? Good? Bad? Things to look out for?
I also am in need of a ipl for it as i need a few parts to make it 100% again any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Cody McM

There was a local CL add that said "Homelite Chainsaw $20". I almost didn't open it thinking it was a plastic fantastic. I'm glad I opened it.
Very nice, Ed. Congrats!!
Got my parts today. Thank you, my friend!!
