Rare Gas-Powered Circular Saw [Rescue] (1x13)

Data de estreia: Abr 07, 2017

This rare 1964 Homelite XL-100 gas-powered circular saw arrived non-functioning. Initially, I thought it was just the spark plug that was the issue as I could feel the shock if I held the plug and turned the engine over. The real issue ended up being the dirty points underneath the flywheel. After that, the saw ran just fine. I did clean the points after sanding them, but I need to grab some needle files for next time as sand paper is usually too aggressive. I plan on doing a complete restoration on this saw at one point, so my main focus was making sure it would run first! It cuts well and quite fast with a new 8.5" blade in it. I have wanted one of these for quite a while!
