Since I know there is a wealth of knowlege out there, anyone know anything about such a beast?
I picked one up the other day.
I am wondering what the powerhead should be on it.

At the moment it has a typical "70"s cast powerhead but I can"t seem to find any model # markings. It is approx. 8in long front to back (no handle) and about 6in wide (not including the clutch).

The foot has the Homelite XL Bushcutter name on it and the clutch/cutter plate has 83765 number molded into it.

The fuel cap says "Mix roughly 1/2 pint of oil to each gallon of gas" This sounds like around 1:16 (US) or 1:20 (IMP) ratio. Should they still be using such a rich mixture with modern mixing oils? The smoke will sure keep the bugs away!

Thanks for looking.

Sounds like your talking about the one that has the XL12/Super XL chainsaw type powerhead. Its a good powerhead lots of parts still availible. About 58cc's plenty of power but heavy. You can run 32:1 with modern oil no problem. Thats about all I can tell you about it.
