Up for sale is for a fully restored 1968 Homelite XL-101 Chainsaw. This saw has been completely disassembled and stripped of all paint. It has been restored using new decals, automotive paint and a 2-part clearcoat that is fuel & oil resistant. all surfaces are painted and clearcoated, so the finish should be very durable.

Please Note: Homelite recommends 32:1 fuel mixture with 40W Homelite 2-stroke oil. All other oils, they recommend 16:1…any quality oil today should be safe to run at 32:1. Bottom line: please understand how to properly mix 2-stroke fuel before you buy this saw!
When I refurbish a saw, I start by addressing any mechanical issues it may have. I replace any parts missing or worn out. Items such as air filters, sprockets, fuel lines, spark plugs, fuel filters, etc…will not be re-used if they are worn out! Once the saw is running properly, I tear it down and thoroughly clean all the parts. This removes the years of grease and grime that restrict air-flow (which in a 2-stroke engine can be fatal). Once everything is cleaned, I re-assemble the saw and give it a final test-run. It’s not just a “clean it up to sell it quick”; the saw's are in good usable shape when I’m done with them! I’ve been working on old Homelite’s and McCulloch’s for over 15 years now. The upside for potential bidders is that I do this because I enjoy it and therefore you can rest assured that the work is done right!
