What's your tips or little things you do to high use saws? Here are some of mine.
On the 3 series husky after a lot of use the top cover will vibrate enough and wear down the tabs to where it won't fit snug anymore. You take off the top cover, remove the threaded dowel fasteners that are inside the cover and grind a 1/16 or so off the bottom, install and they'll fit snug again.
On saws with a snap fit air filter remove the filter and bend the metal fastener to where it holds it tighter, I've had filters wear to the point they wobble a lot and don't deal tight.
On the older saws with throttle rods, not cables make sure it's actually opening the butterfly on the carb all the way, I've had several 2100, 288 and others wear to the point you couldn't open the the carb all the way. It looks like they designed a u in the rod so you could bend them to bring it back to 100%
