Title: Help with ID on an old Homelite
Post by: smoked on August 09, 2021, 08:28:16 PM
A friend gave me this thing because it's missing the starter cord and had other carb type issues.  I think it would be fun to get it running but the ID tag seems to be missing.  Can any of you guys ID it by a few photos? 
The only number I can find is on the bottom of the crank case. 67152
I'v been MIA for a while but enjoyed catching up on some of the recent topics. :)

Possibly an XL-75 with the manual oiler, it looks too big to be an XL-12.

It looks like a 900 series saw or maybe an 800 series. It's been repainted at some point.

The manual oiler button says it's a later model.

So many of those models have interchangeable parts across many variants.

Good things to look for to narrow it down are,

Does it have an auto oiler? Look behind the clutch to see it.

Does the exhaust port have a bridge in it? Most 925's have no bridge.

Which model of Tillotson carb does it have? Later models have an HS151 A or B

Which ignition system does it have? There are three, points, a three part ignition of which two are showing, and a one piece module.

If you want to pop off the recoil and take a pic that will help.
