May have asked this question awhile back, but not sure. Getting older and the brain is starting to show it more and more each day. Anyway, I finally have a grip on what's unique between a 2100, 2100S (Standard) and a Super 2100.
I don't have a good understanding though of the 2000 series. According to various sources, there's at least the following variations:
2000
2000-E
2000-P
Super 2000
Now I do have an IPL for the 2000, so at least that's a starting point.
Making a guess that the -E is for an East coast version (flush cut handles and maybe smaller dawgs), but that's just a guess.
Anybody have information about what makes these versions unique? Just trying to solve another of the little mysteries of the universe.
Thanks,
Dan

When I inquired with saw king over one his larger 2k series saws he stood firm on the S=super
I did not bid on the saw because the acres site or the Blog at alains states as you did S = standard.
this is a subject I am afraid I Got nuthin but am intriqued by.

I'll back Alains on that. The 2100 S (Standard) is named such because it uses 2 "standard" rings. The Super 2100 has thin rings and the "plain" 2100 has a single Dykes or head-land ring. Unless Homelite IPLS are printed wrong, I'm 100% sure on these.

I thought I posted a picture of the 3 piston ring styles for the 2100 . I guess I was wrong. The pistons were replaced as the saws were worn. They can have any of the three types. Bill  |

As for the 2000 they did not have a splined crank and clutch.

I don't think they'd use E to designate one coast and not W [west] for the other? Maybe E for electronic? P for points? Just a guess.

Its kinda hard to imagine they would have introduced and electronic ignition on the 2000 and then not offer it on the 2100 series that followed, but then again anything is possible. I do know that the "E" has been used for East coast on a few models. The 750, and 150 just to name a couple. That's why I won't be surprised if that's what the "E" is for, but then again, it may very well be something different in regards to the 2000. Dan |

Don't ask me why they designated it as an "E"but that's the difference. There was a variation of using a heat shield over the muffler that may have been intended for one area or another possibly due to some regulations, but I'm not sure of any details, just of the variations.

I just remembered there was a variation in the muffler and a shield added over it also. Again, why Homelite did this I have no clue, but the "E' was for East as is "W' is as far as I know, always for West. Dan |

Sorry about that. Since you were talking about East/West coast stuff, it seemed funny.

Don't be sorry Chris... It is pretty funny when you normally think about West coast vs. East coast meaning full wraps and big spike vs. flush cut and smaller spikes. Homelite musta had their reasons for the naming conventions, even though there are many inconsistencies. Yep. I can imagine a little 150 with its 16" buried in some of the big trees.....
