I know they have passed the test of time...but the reason I don't run my little Super XL Homie on anything large is everytime I do more than limbing, the gas is boiling after an hour or two.....and its running with nice tan colored plugs....Haven't yet seen this in the larger Homies. Is THIS why current saw config's have the fuel in the separate handle area?
My Homie 340(Solo built) has the smallest Carb I have ever seen on a saw, reguardless of size along with the goofiest mounting system/intake manifold I have ever seen. AND the wireing is all bunched up and pinched when it goes from the pull start area to the on/off switch & coil for the spark plug wire. Opening up that area along with adding additional insulation around those wires changed a saw that would act lean and evenutually die after an hour or so of work to one that will continue to "wheeeze" as long as you have patience!
