[AT] O.T. Older Homelite chain saw parts

[Len Rugen]

I still remember having to use my right hand to uncurl my left hand after using those vibratory chainsaws :-)
My SXL drank straight gas and died, it was my fault, same colored can as the mix. My older hands sure like the Stihl/Husky cushoned grips :-)
On a good day, it was 1 hour from door step and back to get a big pickup load of wood with the SXL, it would cut good with a sharp chisle chain.

  I went to use my older Homelite Super XL chain saw and found it didn't run very well. Found carburetor  inlet air filter all blocked with wood dust. Wanted to buy replacement filter but found it obsolete. I just couldn't believe this. I cleaned it by spraying brake cleaner on the outside and using compressed from the inside. Worked great. I just couldn't scrap a good old chain saw because of an obsolete part that should remain in stock.. Another example of a "throw away" society!  Joe Hardisky  Ryman Farm  Dallas, PA
