I'd never seen an actual one. Beautiful work! :rock:

The only graphic I ever saw showed the saw as black & yellow, so I guess that was wrong.

Thanks! I understand...the Acres site only shows a yellow one. I think the reds were the forerunners, as this one has a very low 3 digit serial number. Either way, fortunate it is all there and in great shape.

My SL11 gets to me on the 11th, really looking forward to it. If I can fix the reported cracked fuel line I hope to sink it into wood shortly thereafter. :rock:

Woo Hoo!
Got the Mighty Mite going... Got an aluminum pipe plug (didn't want any galvanic corrosion from steel or brass) to kill the auto oiler. Put a carb kit in. Add fuel, oil, and pull... It started after a few, but wouldn't stay happy... So in to the computer, look up the carb model, look up the initial setup, dial that in, and it runs like a clock... Still smokes a bit, but that should burn off with some use as its likely just leftover from the bar oil dumping to the case. I buried it in a 24" hunk of pine I have in the driveway for test cuts. While it doesn't enjoy that, it did it if I didn't lean on it. That's an impressive little saw, acknowledging the limitations. I think I'm going to enjoy that one next time I have to do some limbing.

PL-5 bar plates

Are they the same as a Homelite XL-12? I need a nice outer one for a POWRKRAFT, I just got. It's in very good condition, but was missing the outer plate.

They could be very close as they are both 3/8" studs on 1 1/4" centers.

I have a pair of PL/SL-4 and PL-5 on hand but the outer has the bottom section ripped off. Common on all saws that have thrown a chain or three.

I'm still looking for a good PL-5 piston for a project saw.

Did a comparison last night and the XL-12 outer should do just fine on a PL/SL-4 or PL-5.

I could also use an exhaust stack or muffler for a PL/SL-4 or PL-5 along with a PL-5 piston.

Always, always lost as it's the first thing removed to check the cylinder and not reinstalled if the piston is toast.:bang:

Anyone know the ring thickness on an SL11? I know it's 48.5mm diameter.

Ring thickness will be 1/16" or 1.5mm if you get them from 'The Greek'. Rings don't normally get to be 3/32" thick untill you get over 2" bore.

The 48.5 mm bore is an odd size. You will find that you are limited to a very few choices on end gap style. You will need to file for the locator pin.

I have a pair on hand for a PL-5 (same 48.5 bore) but need a better piston for the project saw before I do the overhaul.
