A few more new additions

[undee70ss]

I fell in love with this one ever since I seen sawmani’s. It does have a few issues. Someone used Briggs oil cap, already replaced it, it has the big 7/8 clutch, but someone used a 3/4 clutch drum so the shoes are slightly peeking out past the drum. The decomp is plugged and the hardware is missing so you REALLY have to pull it like you mean it to get it started. I was worried that the handle was broke because it was all taped up, but after getting all the tape off, handle is fine, was probably real nice but the tape took off a bunch of the original paint.

Decided to join the XL500 club. This one has no spark but it didn’t take long to find out why, coil mount is broken, coil was just laying in there. Clutch cover is cut for a clearing bow.

Nope, not even close.    My collection is mostly SXL's, a few XL's and some odd stuff.   I do have two strong running XL-500's though.  I had two others but I thought that was just being piggish.  I don't have room for many more.

let me know if you want to let go of one of those XL-500s or want to do a partial trade on 410. I try not to have more than one model as well

I REALLY like that Super 2100. I think that will be my next purchase (or a similar saw)

You planning to fix the decomp? Thats one of my complaints on my C-91, by the time you get it started you're too exhausted to run it lol

Probably not. Looks like someone threaded the decomp hole and but a set screw in there. I could fix it with a new piston and cylinder but the ones I have are for another saw unless I change my mind.

[sweepleader]

Would a Helicoil fix that decomp hole? Maybe one of the solid steel inserts instead of a helical insert so you would be able to seal it more easily?

[sawnami]

Those look like a couple of nice Super 2100's!
I've got a 2000E and 2100AO to get to some day.
Found another XL500 when I moved some saws from storage last week.
I took my other XL500 to the last GTG to let the guys compare to Super XL12's that they had. It opened some eyes. 😋

[sweepleader]

I think the XL-500 is a lot of fun. It has 37% more displacement than the SXL, which I like to think is 37% more horsepower. I don't know if that's true but I like to believe it. And it seems to me that the SXL is no slouch. I have never run my 8 tooth XL-500 against my 7 tooth XL-500 nor against an SXL with 7 teeth, both of those races would be interesting.


OOPS, bad math, 27% more than SXL, 37% more than XL-12. Sorry.

Mine doesn’t look anywhere as nice as yours.

The decomp hole is supposed to be smooth and the valve keeps it sealed. Someone threaded mine. It doesn’t leak ( 170+psi) , which is the reason it’s so hard to pull. The decomp insert looks like it’s pressed and epoxeyed in from the factory. I don’t know if it’s even possible to replace it.

[sawnami]

I've read about a decomp port resurfacing tool but don't recall if it was Homelite or another brand.

[sweepleader]

Does the valve go in from the inside and seal on the inside? I have never seen one, I am imagining that the valve is a T shaped affair that you push in to open...

Homelite had them. They were to clean/resurface if the decomp leaks. Won’t help on a threaded/plugged decomp.
