Can someone out there please send a picture or diagram showing exactly where the duckbill for the oiler and also the gas is ligated? I currently have 7 of these saws with various oiler and gas problems. Thanks!

Have a look at these pics. The duckbill in in the oil tank.

I could see nothing coming out of the oil filler hole on my SXL 12, is there supposed to be something you can see from the filler hole? Or, do I have to strip it down?

Just what you see in the pic.
Here's a good video on how to rake the saw apart to get at the tanks and pump. He is pulling it apart for a carb kit but the strip down and assembly is the same.

Here is a vid of the oil line repair. It's for a Super 2 but basically the same as your XL

These video's are not showing an XL or XL -12 or Super XL
-
The XL is a little top handle. There are some Super XL's with the XL logo.
There are no duck bills in the oiler system on the larger ones. The only duck bills on them are in the fill caps.
A picture of one of your saws would help.

The super xl or xl12 does not have duck bills in the tank

Included is a picture that is exactly like my oldest Homelite. The others are all Super XL's

Not sure about the XL-12's but the oiler systems on the SXLAO's are generally pretty good.
A few issues I've come cross that makes them fail.
Oiler pick up hose in the oil tank rotted off or crac ked.
Oil lines, pick up screen, check valve (manual oiler) plugged with crap. Remove and blow out the tubes (XL-12) and on the Super XL, the passages behind the pump.
While you have the pump off, take it apart and give it a good cleaning.
On the Super XL change the "O" rings on the tube if they are worn or missing.
Check the two little "O" rings on the back of the pump for condition and presence
I think the most common I've come across are air leaks in the system. The XL 12 compression fittings are either loose or someone has cranked the fittings down hard and crushed the sealing rings.
Hope that helps

Thanks Tim, not sure I can still get the O rings but it's something worth checking out!

Quite often the SXLAO's had a missing oil pick up hose on the tube in the tank.
Gettting "O" rings from a place that carries an assortment shouldn't be an issue.
Let us know how you make out.

Will do. Thanks!

I stock the o rings for the pump i also have new pumps in stock i just have to add them to my store i have them on the shelf Homelite still stocks them but they are nla by them but they still show some on the shelf i show 5 on hand just got to pull them and get them pictured and placed on the store

I believe it is a bad connection near the line near the handle. If you have the silver 90 degree fitting that goes to the oil filter, I could use one of those.

that part above is the check valve under the handle and trigger area there is a part that hooks into that one end called the pin that pin hooks into the discharge oil line which in turn hooks into the crankcase i will pull these other two parts tomorrow and get a image and put them on the store

I have been trying to send you a message about the XL-12 check valve you wanted. Since I have not received a reply I am wondering if you received it.
