I would say that one was mid 1970, hard to be more precise.

OK, forget what I said above. The serial on this saw is 2895634, the AO means it is an automatic oiler and that is not part of the serial number.

Obviously a US saw, a little rare.

Probably made in October or November of 1968. The 7 digit serials are not decodeable by any known method but Joyce Wilson kept records for 50 years by comparing your sn to her list, this is about the time frame.

You can also check the carburetor for a date, it would be on the edge of the flange, stamped in the metal. That will tell you the saw was build sometime soon after the date shown there.

You likely need a duck bill valve.

Try this for an IPL, I think it is right. www.leonschainsawpartsandrepair.com/uploads/3/9/7/9/39792537/homelite_super_xl_xl_automatic_gear_drive_chainsaw_ipl_23840_revision_2_.pdf

If not, look at the others on the page and see if you can find the part you are looking for: www.leonschainsawpartsandrepair.com/parts-diagrams.html

Then check Leon's site for the part, I am gonna guess he will have what you need. He will be back on the 23rd to help or go to one of the feebay type sites with the part number.

If that does not work out, check back here and ask again with the part number.
