No changes for now still skinny

Thanks. I'll probably get a 250 carb for it at some point. This is the fourth chainsaw I can remember Dad owning. Previous ones included an ancient blue Homie XL-12 (caught fire, I think), circa 1983 Homie Super 2 (toughest saw I've ever seen, finally died when somebody backed a tractor over it in the 2000's), and cheapo Poulan 1950 (lost in house fire courtesy of wack job stepmom).

modified, the 170/180 can run with a stock 250

And what are these modifications?

Seems most people do a muffler mod and timing advance with the little bigger 025 carb just. I had one not sure if it would run with a 025/250 but maybe. Guess if pulling down completely you could work the intake and exhaust port some.
