Chinese super xl cylinder install

[kevinm1980]

Made a video of installing and doing a compression test of the aliexpress super xl piston and cylinder, I'm not great at making videos but hope it's helpful if anyone is thinking about buying one of these

Hey Kev,

Great video! Interesting to see, but I really liked your candid comments on the saw's performance at the end of the video. Everyone has opinions, and I enjoy hearing them. Thanks!

regards,
bob

I expected backlash for that.. Lol but like I said in video I do own alot of those but it's just a fact homelite's later 58cc saws are superior, but I do love a manual oiler blue xl-12

Great video Kevin! I enjoyed it tremendously.I was really surprised what a 1/32 in.difference in the gasket made with the compression.Keep up the good work!

So,how do I win the Bandit?I subscribed.Funny thing,I was going to buy a Bandit a couple of weeks ago,but it was from the questionable seller Ladybug 007.It was a nice looking saw,but I couldn't justify spending almost $80 on a super2,I already have a shed half full of 'em,Lol.Of course they're all pretty much parts saws.

Hi Ed,

Not to steal Kevin's thread here.......but why do you say Ladybug is questionable? Reason I ask is I've bought a few saws from her(him?) and never had any problems. I've never paid the asking price, as he/she is always willing to negotiate, and the pics are usually pretty accurate in terms of what you're buying (which is never a pristine saw), so I'm curious if there's something about that seller that I need to be aware of.

thanks,
bob

I'd rather not do any bashing here on Kevin's thread.I've posted about her before.Send me a PM.

Understood. PM sent.

thanks,
