Hello,I'm new to this site.
I have my dad's XL-101 serial # is 2946873.well the saw has been sitting for over 10 years and won't start or even pop. I have replaced the fuel line and filter and it has spark. I can't find a UT number anywhere on the saw just the serial number.id like to replace the carburetor or try and rebuild it, everything I look at asks for UT#. It has a walbro sdc1 carburetor on it. Thank you so much, Ed.

Welcome to HoH! First we need to determine if the spark is strong enough for the saw to fire & if the saw has enough compression to fire as well.Have you replaced the spark plug?If not I'd suggest putting a new plug in the saw.Also need to know what color the spark is,if it's blue or bluish white then you've got fairly good spark.Have you tried priming the carburetor,or taking the plug out & giving it a prime through the plug hole?The UT # isn't necessary to get the saw to run,only needed for parts if needed.

Thank you so much! I will do as you suggest, I've never gotten this deep into working on saws but my dad took good care of it and I'd like to getting it going. It's been sitting in the hard violin looking case for over 10 years. Thanks again, Ed.

I have plastic syringes from Ace Hardware. I put a shot of mix in the carb or plug hole. 4-5 pulls will let you know if it will fire. I get lots of my old saws from farm auctions. When no one is looking at the saw, I'll pull the plug and put a squirt in it. If it pops, I bid on it. If not, I pass. Unless it's something big and or rare.
I had my Dad's XL101. It was the first small saw he bought to use climbing tree's, before that he used a big hand saw. I let that one get away, wish I still had it.

As long as the saw sat, there's a good chance it will need the carb cleaned and probably kitted, especially if normal pump gas with ethanol was left in it. K10-SDC kits are available online. If you get one just be sure to look for genuine Walbro and not aftermarket. Should be about $15.
