I recently acquired a low-hours XL101. It runs well, but cuts out for lack of fuel. Backing out the H mix screw does not help. What suggestions do the experienced folk have for sorting this out?

I'd start with the simplest thing first,a new fuel filter.The next thing might involve taking the carb out & cleaning it.The fuel inlet screen could be getting plugged. Ed

Welcome to HOH!
As Ed suggested, start simple and work your way up. The fuel filter, fuel hose, carburetor diaphragms & fuel tank vent could all be defective, even on a low hour saw. Keep us up to date on your progress!

Another thing I thought of that could affect ther saw's ability to throttle up is your points could need to be cleaned.Naturally everyone wants to go to the fuel system right away which is a good place to start,but sometimes an electrical problem can mimick a fuel problem.Start with the fuel system first & keep the electrical thing in the back of your mind.If you need help with anything just ask,we're here to help.

Welcome to the House of Homelite.
The advice above is good. You might also take the H screw out and shoot a little carb cleaner in the port, that might clear out the passage. I would not put any more pressure on it than that, high air pressure for instance might push dirt in tighter or damage something else in the carb.
Let us know what you find or don't find.
