I finally put the XP-1000 to work today & I was impressed.I had a trunk to take down that the electric co.left behind at my neighbor's place.I have a 30 in.Carlton hardnose bar & a .404 chain on it that I got on Feebay for $50,both are like new.I had the bar buried in English walnut & I had to hold back on the saw because it would bite just a little too much with the new chain.Once I got the hang of it there was no stopping that beast.My neighbor is 87 & I think he was impressed.Yup,100ccs of pure grunt.Here's the saw & the wood it had for dinner.

How about that, my first day on this forum and I have finally found a saw that matches my XP 1000. My PTO cover, has the identical marking of your saw. I had been attempting to find out things like, why XP, and not XL? What makes this 100 cc saw, different from all the other 100cc Homelite saws. Mine is a great runner, but I have not put it into any wood, because I am going to have to buy or make a muffler. I was thinking of making a pipe muffler for the beast when I have the time, but I have so many other high priority tasks to take care of, that this project will be months down the road. I live on Vancouver Island, on the west coast of Canada, and Vancouver was a hub for the production of large IEL, Pioneer, and Power Machine saws, but I am not aware of Homelite saws being produced out West. If anyone has some info, I would be grateful.

Hello & welcome to the forum! The XP-1000 was manual oiling only.Asfar as I know that was the onmly difference between it & the other 100cc saws.I just acquired a fairly large lot of Homelite parts,let me look through my inventory & see if I have a muffler for your saw.
