Super 2 points or electronic

[joewilson]

I was wondering if you can tell by serial number if a Homelite Super 2 has electronic ignition or points. Looking for electronic ones at flea markets and can't tell just by looking at the saw. I know that most plastic ones are electronic but I believe some of the metal ones are too. Thanks

Homelite switched over to electronic somewhere around 1982. If you look at the second digit of the serial number and it's a "D" or higher, you should have an electronic saw. Hope this helps!
