Mini super 2. That's cool!

What have ya'll paid for a non-running xp-1020? There is one local for $100 but seems high for an old non-runner.

I would probably look at it they are getting hard to find, but I would definitely pull the muffler and do a compression test before handing over any cash. If seller will not let me test or pull the muffler then I would pass because you can not tell engine health.

I sold one at Terry Landrum's 3 or 4 years ago for $50.00.

Guys there is this big auction by me this Friday and I went up there today to look around. Among other things is a blue xl automatic, couldnt see the number if it had one, and a 410 in descent shape. Are these saws worth putting money into? I used to have a 330 but I sold that a number of years ago before CAD crept in. I just want to have something to tinker with. Compression on both saws was acceptable with the pull rope method.

I can't comment on the 410 but the XL's are good saws. Parts shouldn't be much of an issue. If the XL is a points saw, great. If it has a blue module/coil instead of points, they are very prone to failure and expensive to replace. Make sure you take a plug with you to check for spark.

I had three 410's they are not bad saws just put together a little odd, they are a little heavy for a 68cc saw. the xl auto you should just send to me! lol they are a great classic saw. I have kept the xl-12's

Super XL Auto after a good polish on the handle.

 

[KYsawman]

That is awesome looking, really sets the saw off. That is a super clean blue and white one.

Thanks! Yeah, It's a darn good runner for a $40 saw! lol

 

[TJ the Chainsaw Mechanic]

Had to polish the muffler and chrome paint the stacks. lol

I'm working on this xl400, will the fuel line from an xl12 be the same as this one?

 

[KYsawman]

Yes it should be. It is the same as a xl-12 /super xl. The cylinder and crankcase are different but everything else is the same. That is a very clean looking one. That and the xl-500 are on my homelite bucket list.
