I married the SXL to a 20in Oregon bar that came with my XL923 (It's now sporting a 31in Windsor bar!), checked the compression (>140psi), and the fuel line and filter in the tank. That fuel looked and smelled okay, so I started it in just a few pulls. I tweaked the L screw on the carb and used it to cut up a few fallen branches. Here it is pictured in the middle of my now three-some of SXLs. From L to R they date from '91, '92, and '85.

When it's really windy, it's good to have one of these in each hand to keep you from blowing away! O
 
A friend traded with me this VI Super 2 Auto for a bottle of my favorite beer. It dates from 1978. It's missing the bar adjustment/chain tightening screw. I think I can steal one from one of my parts saws. I've yet to try to start it.

I'll update when I get it started. O
 
020 AV I got for free. Runs on prime, gotta go through the carb. Only thing really wrong with it is the broken clutch cover. Otherwise very clean saw.

Not sure if this qualifies. $125 for the mower, $50 in parts, caught up the maintenance. She's not pretty, but she's a runner.

Will probably resell. My lawn is small and convoluted, this saves almost no time vs. the push mower.

are super 2s rare/valuable?
Sorry I am late to answer and someone beat me to it. I don't think they are any more valuable than any older saw, but I have a couple Homelites that I like and use. An XL-1, 45 cc, 16 inch bar, that I use for small jobs, and a Homelite power master XP1000, that runs great but I am missing a muffler. I have decided that I am going to make one, but there are too many other jobs with a higher priority right now.

Not sure how i did here, but i am feeling pretty good about it. Guy wanted to give it to me, i told him no, finally he said 50 bucks, i said 100 he refused, it went home with me. It runs, he said it was “tired” I haven’t done a compression test yet but I suspect it needs rubber parts and filters and maybe a plug.
Said he has too many and this is too heavy, i was looking for a beater, this is nicer than i had in mind.

I would visit him with a "free" a load of firewood and offer to stack it in a location of his choosing.

Theres been enough friction over the years that i am not feeling very guilty. He can be a douche. Also it does seem to have some form of compression issues. Haven’t spent any time to figure it out

Fair enough in that case. If it just needs a new piston ring consider it a gesture of reconciliation; if the piston and cylinder are cooked, the saw was just something he didn't want anymore and value it accordingly.
