Wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped with adding info to my knowledge and assisted with parts. I've learned alot here by reading and looking at the photos. This is a great place to hang out!
Purchased these two for $20.00. The Xl-12 needed a new set of points, oiler plunger and a flywheel. Normal stuff was needed, fuel tank cleaned, felt fuel filter cleaning, carb kit and a few adjustments to the Hi/Low setting. I swapped in the quad reed cage from a newer parts saw and the torque is unbelievable now. Starter rope was toast as was the spring. She's got 125lbs of compression and rips for an old saw. With the straight stack on this you can really hear her 4-stroke out of the cut. The 16" bar is the original bar and the chain may be as well, paints just worn off. Overall in great shape, and is the saw I learned how to cut with when my father and I cut together (not this exact one but same model). I used to cuss him, but now that I'm older and he's gone, I realize he had CAD. We cut a 100 cord a year and never left the woods without a FULL load. He was a Homelite man and taught me everything, didn't realize it soon enough to appreciate it!
Second is the Super with Auto oiler. She was a little more involved, real dirty, points were toast, tank leaked fuel, bar and chain shot. Carb got a kit, molded fuel line replaced the old grommet type line, fuel filter, chain cover was in half and the starter was not working. Gave her a new 16" B & C and now she's a great runner too!
Both a little dirty as I was cutting some 24" white oak in the back. Had a Red Super XL I did at the same time, she's not a pretty saw but a good work saw I'll probably get rid of, she's wearing a wore out chain and 20" bar.
Almost forgot most important part, Picture of WOOD! and my 036PRO with BIG double dawgs. Chain cover's on so the WOOD isn't scared and it can't claim the kill.
The 036 is getting a Muff Mod today!
Enjoy,
Randy
