Blue Homelite XL-12 I acquired about 10 years ago. It has
decent compression although piston and rings show signs of hard
use. I don't know what was in the tank, it sure didn't look or
smell like anything that would burn in a saw. Carb is in
surprisingly good shape so it got a kit, fuel line and a filter,
that carb was a bit of a bugger to install. It will start and
run for a minute on choke, I suspect the crank seals are shot.
Going back on the shelf for the time being, too many more
pressing tasks. Next project is a Super 2 which will likely wait
until winter.

If it's a regular manual oiler only XL-12 (no auto oiler pump,
and has the oil fill at the rear of the saw) then it uses SKF
6119 or National/Timken 353747 seals on both sides. Easy to get
from an auto parts or bearing house.
Auto oiler versions (AND those manual-only saws with the oil
fill up by the top handlebar bracket) use a proprietary seal
(Homelite 58308) on the PTO side.

Lightweight " low hour" trimmer , non-running / engine will
start only choke on and then run for a short period of time.
= fuel lines rotted.

I have had 6 of these.
From my experience you have an air leak or carb trouble. For air
leak look at the missing back cover?

Your kidding right. That is just a big hole looking at the
crank shaft.

There's a big black plastic cup that fits in the rear of the
crankcase for crankcase pressure integrity. It is not in the
picture? There a black metal ring that fits over the plastic
cover to assure it seals all around the crankcase. This cover
also supports the gas tank.
These engines were noted for the crank pin working out and
rubbing a hole in the black plastic cover.

The trimmer starts and runs like new, or maybe a little bit
better. (fuel line) 15min work +coffee break included ;D
[member=305]660magnum[/member] , the back cover is in the

On the bench I still have the Mac 1000 /Partner p100.Got the
suspesion half-fast fixed now the manual oiler is next on the
list .
Need to order a starter pawl and some 80 micron screen .It
seems the flocked clip on style filters for these old duffers
are rare as hens tooth,thus the screen . Working 7-12s it's next
to impossible to find the time to wrench on saws .
