So anyone who is interested or Needs to rebuild the top end of their Homelite XL-12 and I believe Super XL series saw still can...I was able to find a piston kit...and a piston/cylinder kit. The head gasket will have to be purchase separately.
The SDC Walbro found on them uses the K10-SDC kit and the Tillotson I'm not sure of yet.
Here's the link to the guys store:
Jonsered Parts, HUSQVARNA CHAINSAW PARTS items in Lil Red Barn Power Equipment Supply store on eBay!

Why not? Because the stuff is aftermarket? Need more info! lol

The reasons are (1) I bought some Mac 10 Series molded fuel lines from him. There wasn't enough material for it to grip in the bulkhead of a saw and it took him over a month before he refunded me. (2) Like an idiot, I thought this was a one-time occurrence ... so I ordered a couple of Homelite molded lines ... same result! (2) He will not directly answer any pointed questions about this new wave of AM pistons he's gotten for vintage saws.

So screw him ... there's plenty of other sellers out there.

One of the Poulan guys bought a 3400 piston from him. The wrist pin wasn't a press fit as it should have been and came with clips. They aren't paying attention to detail on that product. I don't think it would last too long.

Super XL-925

Duramark SXLAO with chain brake. The brake is ugly and built like a tank. Great runner. I had thought these were re-branded for the T. Eaton Co. but I recently found out that it was for the Hudson's Bay Co. the oldest operating company in Canada established in 1670.

Tim, first time I've ever seen that muffler cover ... interesting.

Sorry not a great picture. Homelite super mini. Currently doesn't run. I don't know what it needs yet. Gonna rip into it this weekend and make a list

They are very common on the Canadian built Terry saws. I have them on the Super XL, one of the XL-76's and 900 series saws.

I was given a 330 in great shape are they worth the trouble of fixing I know it needs a carb boot.I have had several xls and super xls and like them does the 330 how does it compare to the older ones .after I made this post I tore it down the carb boot had already been changed but the fuel lines were bad put new ones in and it runs great I'll try it out tomorrow.

Here's a 10.00 junk yard find. A Super XL-925. I don't have but a few homelite's. I got it to pop with some mix so I gave it a good bath. I had the bar and chain, re did the fuel lines, rebuilt the carb and had to swap out the fuel cap because the vent was bad.

 

[Warped5]

$10? That one is SO clean ....

 

[295 tramp]

The carb kept leaking fuel when it was setting and I took it off twice before I seen a hole on the front face of the carb. That hole goes back to the Welch plug area. I had some small Welch plugs and blocked it off. It doesn't leak now.
