Couldn't get the SDC-3 tuned on my red/black XL-12 and the fuel inlet spigot was loose in the carb. body.
Contemplated useing an SDC-12 from one of my XL-101 types on it. Only difference I can see is the -12 has the accelerator pump and your average -3 has none.
I think it should work.
Waddayah say?
Found a Homelite Tilley left from ? and put him on there. He works now.
SGT N.,
Just run the Tilly if it's working fine and the throttle/choke arms are right for your linkage and idle speed screw. Keep the XL-101 type SDC in reserve for your saws in that family. If you really want another XL-12/SXL application SDC for your XL-12, I'll send you one from a parts saw Carl. No charge for you my friend.
I'm switching all my XL-series Homelites to HS's for simplicity. They (my XL-12/SXL and XL900 series saws) will run the Tillys, while my 10-series Macs will continue to run SDC's. I have about 10 RK-23HS kits (and 'only' four K10-SDC kits left). All but one of my runner XL-12/SXL Homelites are HS equipped already. Only that one SXL, plus a couple project saws left to switch over. I've got enough HS carbs on parts saws to cover those.
Also, you were needing accelerator pump diaphragms for the XL-101 type SDC's weren't you? I have a couple new ones left over from Mac SDC rebuilds (those carbs aren't pump equipped) that I could send you in an envelope if you still need 'em. Let me know...
