They could have been put in 3 places that I know of, depending on vintage. On the top, late 70s, on the side where the handle is, early mid 70s, early blue ones had it on the bottom of saw.

Also sometimes the tag falls off. If you think the carb is original, the saw can be dated from the carb.

Anyone recall a rebuild thread for the xl2 oiler? Just rebuilt a dumpster find and no evidence that the oiler works. Might just be that its stingy with the oil. Havent done more than a few minutes cutting

Most of the time either the duckbill is missing, or the lines are crossed if the saw was ever worked on. Since pics are worth 1000 words I've included some.

Line to square fitting is to pump, goes to bottom of oil tank, (see pic)

the other is impulse line, goes to top of tank. In the oil tank, must have splintered bronze connector and duckbill (see pic)

Needing a fuel cap, a muffler, and a throttle rod for my 150 im rebuilding. The rod decided to disappear to parts unknown. Probably eloped with the hdc carb circuit plate screw (which i replaced from a parts carb). Anyone got any theyd part with?

Homelite 245 what's your thoughts

I have one that I use as a loaner/stump saw. Very close to the xl2 build in that the motor needs to be totaly taken out of the plastic body to work on it. It looks like a small scale 330 in the carb and oiler set up. Reed induction with no rubber intake boot,yea!

You can probably find most of it here. http://www.leonschainsawpartsandrepair.com/store/c11/Homelite_150_Chainsaw.html

I have a whole one. It seems like the case is glued together so it a pain to work on.

Is this the one you need?it runs if you squirt gas in it, but that's all I know. Oh and it's complete.

A guy I do business with had a Homelite XL2 sitting in the floor. He is trying to retire it for his dad. It is missing the top handle half and the rod. He found the spring AM, but can't find the rest. Dies anyone have any of the missing parts?

I will let him know today or Monday. It is a nice little saw. Does the top half of the handle snap on or bolt on? This one snaps down somehow.
