       I have a couple Homelite 45cc chainsaws. The one I used today
       has a black top cover. The other, newer one, is only about 8
       years old and has a red top cover. Neither looks like the
       current Homelites. Both are plastic chainsaws.
       The daughter in law wanted me to dispose of a long skid that
       looked to be 16' long. I think barn roofing steel came on it?
       So I grabbed up the Homelite that was nearby to cut it up into
       three regular skids with some boards left over.
       Now I am used to Husky 346's and 372's.
       The 13 year old Homelite, which stihl looks like new, started
       right up. 3 pulls full choke and 2 pulls half choke and away it
       went which is pretty good considering it had last year this time
       gas in it. This one has a 20" X .325 B & C. Never had anything
       done to it.
       Sounded like it was only running half throttle after being
       accustomed to the other saws?
       Anyway, it cut just fine and quickly I had three regular skids
       instead of one giant one. Cannot complain.
       Last year this time, I had cleaned it all up and sharpened the
       chain. It had not been used since.
       These pictures were taken in 2004
       This is the old one that I like the best. It has the carb bolted
       to the engine with a plastic insulating block.

       I didn't use this one but it runs good too. This one has a
       rubber boot on the carb, it stays on the back of the Rhino 4
       wheeler
