Thank you - contacted Zama for the information and they gave me the rebuild kit number which I ordered - waiting for it to arrive - I hope they were right 😜
 
Contact Leon at Leon's Homelite/chainsaw store. He is a Homelite specialist....very knowledgeable....he will steer you in the right direction. Before you contact him,search Leon's YouTube videos....likely he will have a video on the carb on an XL. I just rebuilt 2 XL's with new kits....they both run great.
 
One more thing....you might look at The House of Homelite site....join the site.....many Homelite experts and great Homelite info there.

Homesite XL chain saw - no other numbers/model/unit number/serial number
16” bar

Ran out of fuel, primer bulb cracked, replaced bulb, refueled it, it would start and die out

Replaced both fuel lines from primer bulb
Did not replace fuel line with filter on it (it held vacuum)
Did replace the fuel filter while it was apart
Replaced air filter (which was deteriorated)

Starts on primer but getting no fuel to remain running - what’s my next move, please

Fuel is mixed properly and freshyou take out the spark preventer screen by the muffler?

Did you remove the spark resistor screen, and clean that out?
 
Might be a crack or pin hole in the fuel line letting in air. Happened to me. Ran great with a full fuel tank, crack submerged, but once the fuel level went down it started sucking air.

Thank you, I will look at his YouTube first - I got a new kit for it, just haven’t had time to work on it - lights started going on in my GMC Sierra 😖
Just another challenge when life was too smooth 🤪
