Don's Homelite Super XL New Piston Installation Start To Finish!

[@JV-ou5mc]

Thanks' Leon! I continue to saw wood with my Dad's Homelite 360 Automatic. Reliable workhorse for a part-timer, even to this day. My Dad always cared for his saw. Might have to ping you in the future about parts and such. (Sentimental Value) Saw has good power and a pleasure to run throughout the decades. Appreciate your contribution to youtube content!

That was very helpful. I have partial saws that I wasn't planning to try to restore. I cleaned up several bone yard saws, for parts. The pistons of two looked bad. I dug out my Grandfathers oldest saw that I encouraged to pop off and barely run...more than 20 years ago. I did a lot more work to this saw that I thought. I was looking through my service notes and was surprised to read that I had replaced/swapped the engine out. I do not recall doing this lol I have learned a bit, since then; thank you Leon. This old saw may yet run again, and if I can change the piston and cylinder on one other that is near complete...... I will need to sell a couple of my XL-12's, to afford parts and tools to fix the rest ;-)

Great video! I'm hoping to do the same to my XL next week. Need to find a piston, maybe a cylinder.

I was having trouble getting to that inner oil line, this helps quite a lot, thank you.

Sounds like a charm! Good job as always, Master!

Warm up piston and it will come out easier

[@DougDarenLippoldt]

I am doing a project with my XL12 Automatic which I won't be using the chain do I need the oil tank or the design wont allow me to remove it

[@ayax_tools1446]

Hello! I need help, by tapping he takes out pulleys to remove the disc from the electromagnet. I have bent the thread a little and now the nut doesn't fit. Do you know what type of thread it is? I have bought standard and fine Whitworth dies and they don't work, I think the Whitworth ones don't have the same thread pitch, thanks in advance. A greeting from Spain!

Hi leo what's the coil part number? Can't find it anywhere .

[@plowmaster1206]

What about the nameplate off the old handle? Do you fasten it to the saw somewhere?

[@jamesbagley6598]

Were you buy rebult part at

[@Tysman909]

Hey Leon when you clean the saws besides the garden hose do you use anything else? I find gas and brush works well but dries out pain so have to rub saw down with oil to restore the shine

[@waynebabin3646]

awesome once again

[@stevetroendle523]

Hammer time !!!!!

[@rogerbennett8028]

I have dedicated piece of wood for these stubborn wrist pins with a hole drilled in it rather than straddling it between 2 boards

[@philliphall5198]

I use a 4/4 block with a hole

[@fredbuck8800]

Have the exact same model in nice shape that has a weak ignition and needs a carb rebuild, nobody in my area works on them older saws no more because of parts availability

[@professor9595]

With blue ignition isn't have Platinum?

[@seniorjohnl]

[@Tysman909]

Ok i need help help I have a mccallacha super 2-10?automatic will turn 180%?and lock up what the he’ll up with hell up with that please leat me know if a idea

[@seniorjohnl]

Try turning it with plug removed, if it's hydro-locked on the top end that should free it up, more likely it's mechanically damaged, Gonna have to tear it down.

[@terrytolar7861]

You take on jobs

[@jayytee8062]

I would have dropped that piston in hot water before hammering.
