My pop had a Super2 cutting as a Riverside County arborist years ago. Still has it. Great saw!! Not a ton of power compared to the old McCulloch’s and European saws. BUT always started. Cant tell you how many times i saw dad 60’ up and pulling once to fire it. Hard to find small engine repair guys to touch them now.
we had a few homelites growing up , the first being a super2, with 2 triggers , I picked one up off craigslist a couple of years ago for $50 when my "new" Homelite died after 2-3 uses. These are killer saws . I'm trying to find out the approximate age of the one I have now, it's all metal, and Has the two triggers, any ideas ?
Bein a metal housing it may be a little older. Ive heard you can use the ut number or maybe serial number to tell around what time it was built. The house of homelite website is a good place to find info on serial numbers and dating the saw
@@magnumtipton7293 thanks, I was on the Homelite website yesterday, and I could only remember 7E of the serial#, and I was too pooped from actually using the super2 yesterday to go get all the numbers, I'll do some more research today
I just snagged one up for $20.00 Engine brake 16' bar and chain. Saws in great shape, it has 120 psi compression and had it running, and then quit, So I will do a carb cleaning, and seems to be no oil flowing to the chain.
