I have 2 Homelite superxl-ao chainsaws that I have maintained and used since the early 90's. Sounds like what you need to do is start out with a 1 to 1 1/2" turn out on each needle valve. start it and let it idle, now slowly turn the low needle in until the machine starts idling funny back out about 1/4" turn. now with full throttle do the same with the high needle valve, the rpms should be fast and smooth. the problem now is that your getting to much gas and it is flooding. make sure you have a new spark plug also.
