jumping right in, over the past year, amongst several other dump grabs, have brought home 4 Homelites. nicest condition saws are the Super 2 and the Super E-Z. Comments on those are welcome. the more important questions surround a pair of XL 12's: older blue and younger red. not sure what direction to take with them. i know they are not rare saws, they have definitely been used, but are mostly intact. i have given them both a decent cleaning. the blue fires up, can't get the red to do so. they both leak out the muffler, esp. the blue, which poured out when i tipped it bar up (had thought bad carb diaphragm, but maybe something else).
the red has the black rubber fuel line, the blue has perhaps the molded transparent line. the blue's gas cap is missing at least the duckbill, if not more. the red's cap doesn't look like it has that vent system. i'm not sure if the saws would be considered safe to use without investment. not sure they are not worth more as parts saws, esp. given how many are out there that may need this or that.
just feeling these saws out, and this is the place! here are are few pics.

Im thinking about thickening my herd and would really like to add some smaller Homelites. Other than a couple super 2's all Ive got is C series, Super Wiz and EZ6. Id like to do a Super EZ first then probably an XL12. I may have to hit you up for some info myself if thats ok. |

Yes newbies are allowed houseofhomelite.proboards.com/thread/6155/adding-picturesthx. i did find the attachment location using my computer. i do not seem to locate this ability using my cell phone, where most of my pics are stored. is this not enabled? i do not have/use off site photo storage services (drop box, flickr, etc) If you need any help with getting the SEZ working,let me know,I'd be more than happy to help.I think I must have around 25 of 'em now.

I'm not exactly the premier knowledge guy when it comes to SEZs,but I have a fair amount of knowledge that I've obtained from working on these saws.I'd be glad to pass along anything I can to help out.There are other members here who are more than willing to help as well.

The blue XL-12,SEZ,& Super2 look to be in decent shape cosmetically,the red XL-12 not so much.Looks aren't everything though.

i believe the cap is missing a duckbill. what else is it missing? |

Not all of the caps had venting; check around the perimeter and if you don't see a hole somewhere, it's not vented. Otherwise it would be missing an aluminum tube in the center that held the duckbill in place.
