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

[charlie hill]

My Stihl pole saw is easy to run.  The shoulder strap takes most of the load
and vibration is minimal.

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..
