Not sure who all the dumbasses are but I don’t want to be in that group. I used the Dichtomatik seal to replace the 58308b. It is not a direct replacement but it has worked for me so far. I do not recommend using it if your not willing to take a chance….
By all means buy OEM if you can.

The carburetor on the xl925 is like this. Is there a work around for this ? Like blocking the port on a husqvarna carb.
The VI944 jet is not drilled through the top of the brass insert.

im thinking about picking up a homelite 360, i notice however that the oil mix ratio is 32:1. Is that what you all are running with newer oil?

if someone likes clouds of smoke it is like this 
I use 32:1 mix in all my saws vintage or modern,no smoke if you use good oil

I don't care about smoke, i have one saw i have to run 25:1 in. Its just the fact of keeping another can of gas around but i guess i could run 32:1 in my newer stuff to. I usaully run 40:1 in everything.
what you runnin 25 in?
even my ['50s] old ones do ok on 32-35
had one ['48] was sposed to be 8:1

Yes. Blocking off the plug in the side of the carb is the same. Unscrew it and block with a piece of metal. Welch plug might work. I have used a piece of a pop can with success.
I have a couple 922’s with the semi-fixed H Tilly. Personally, I like them. With the semi-fixed and additional high speed governor, I reason many were saved from being toasted by running that setup. With the H sitting at 1/8+ to 3/16 (blocked governor), they tune, run and pull with authority.
Honestly before I discovered the intake leak in the VI944 it probably saved the saw.
Unfortunately it didn't on the 925 ,but I did source a reasonable piston for it.

I bought one of those cheap chainsaws from ebay, not because i needed one just wanted one to mess with, but it says to use 25:1. I don't keep a extra can for it all i do is carry a little bottle of oil and add it in the tank when i fill if with 40:1. I figure i get it close enough.

This C-91 popped up for sale in the region with a full wrap handlebar. I didn't even know the C saws had a full wrap, how rare is that?
Guy wants $100 for it. I'd consider it just for the full wrap, but he's a bit too far away from me, don't feel like taking a big drive at the moment.

I've never seen one.

Whats the displacment like on that saw, that full wrap handel is very intriging. I have been casaully looking for a full wrap handel for my 360 but seems they are hard to find.

85.5cc, supposedly. I have both a C-72 and C-51 which are 80.3 and 77cc respectively. I quite like this series of saws, I ended up doing a lot of firewood cutting with the C-72 last summer.

Sounds like a good saw. What years were they produced?

I had a C91g that cut pretty nice with a 36" bar buried in anything I put it in.

This one has a full wrap on it, but i haven't seen a lot of others with it.
Did the C91G have the planetary type clutch cover? I found a NOS cover recently and I have been on the hunt for a nice C series “convertible drive” to put it on. Most of them are pretty rough though.
