Bit of a pain to work on but good limbing and camp saw when
running right. Noisy little beggar.

I've got one of those things but an earlier model .It was
Homelites answer to a mini Mac I think .Just like mini Mac they
were good for maybe a couple of years before they died on the
vine .They were such a pain in the buttocks to work on most
people just retired them to the shelf and never did anything to
them from that time on .Most of them you find still have the
original chain on them .
I remember TSC selling the other model I think it was the super
Xl or Xl 2 with a 10"-12" bar for $89.95 .For as tiny as they
are though if they are running up to par they cut to beat the
band .

Yes but they were a short coupled single trigger deal .
The one I have is to the left in this covey of little saws .Next
is some model of Poulan and a Mini Mac .It was a freebie too
with a bad condenser .I got it running,played with it a little
bit and put it back on the shelf .I've got that pair of 200T's
and after those most baby saws are just that baby saws .

I have a Super2. What was the difference? More power? It has a
16" bar, the XL's I have seen use 14".

I think it must depend on when they were made .One is 1.9 cu in
.One is 2 cube and I think the itty little single trigger 89
dollar special I was talking about was only 1.6 cube .Ha my
uncle had one he carried around in a 5 gallon bucket with a
quart of oil and a quart of mix gas in another oil bottle .Cute
as a bugs ear . ;D

Mine is an old one...1973 almost 100% all metal saw, 26cc,
originally came with a 1/4" chain 12" bar dual trigger. My
neighbor gave it to me in 2008 because it wouldn't start. I
cleaned the points and put a capacitor. I guess after 35 years
it finally needed it. runs like a top. There seem to be many
newer versions... pretty much based on the original xl2

You have to consider what they are and when they were made .It
was the invasion of the micro saws.
Homelite made little saws ,McCulloch had the mini ,Echo had some
midget saws .Poulan probabley made the best of the lot though
during those early days of teeny saws .
It really was surprising how well they cut too but then again
they were all brand new in that time period . What sold them in
vast numbers was the fact that anybody could afford the things
because chainsaws have never been cheap .These were in
retrospect .

Got this one running and cut with it today for some test cuts.
Might need a carb kit down the road but was able to start it
normally after carb adjustments.
My dad is in town and dont want neither this xl or xl2. So I am
going to pass them on to others.
