Ah yes, the infamous overrunning bearing recoil. My C-91 has one and so did a 770g I had years ago. Both had/have intermittent issues catching I never could completely work out. I do find tilting the saw to the right (clutch toward the ground) helps mine grab easier. Also mastering the art of “pull slow until it catches then pull sharply”.
I’ve never seen bad seals show that symptom but not to say it’s impossible. Does tilting into its side while idling do anything?

It was getting late & dark out,so I didn't have time to do the tilt test.I'll check it out tomorrow.I also gotta take a look at the inside of the muffler to see if it has a baffle or not.It seems to be louder than it should be.
Since I swapped out the recoil assembly from the parts XP I haven't had anymore issues.I thought of lubing the bearings on the old recoil too,but for what?The fan housing has about 3 spokes broken out all in one area.

I got around to firing up the beast today & did the tip test.This was kinda strange - I tipped it to the left & no difference.I tipped it to the right & no difference.Then I tipped it forward & it began racing,but shortly thereafter it leaned out & ran out of fuel.I guess I'll have to refuel it & try again.

I have found in my experience that indicates a carburetor issue or possibly the fuel tank was a bit low?
I’ll have to admit though. Usually when I’ve had that issue the saw will bog like it’s pooling somewhere in the carb and then when you tip it down it floods.

I guess you didn't read the last sentence or 2 of my previous post?Lol
It's gonna be a while before I can't do much of anything,kinda tough to work on a saw,or try to pull start it after having hand surgery.

I am happy to learn that you are on your way to having a great running saw. I have an XP-1000 Power Master, and could find no information until I found this forum today. Considering that you know enough about these saws to have acquired a bunch of parts saws, I have a couple of questions. Why was this saw named an XP, when everything Homelite was always branded XL, or Super XL? Is there a difference between the Power Master, and a regular XP-1000? So much to learn. Bob
