    Nevermind Plant! Just did a search and answered my question. Or I should say you did in 2008 to someone else! Thanks again for your info. These nuggets you glean from this site are good stuff. Rep sent.

    One thing to add is I haven't ran it head to head with the 361 yet but their actual weights are very similar(according to the trusty old Health-o-meter bathroom scale at least!) It sure feels like the same power too. I like it. Got a cherry Jred in the mix and picked it up for a very unstihl like price of 150 bucks! Good Stuff. Hmmm, maybe my $600 361 is overrated afterall!

    Just use 50 to one, with good gas and premium synth oil - never mind the gas specs of older saws - they are that way because the oil was not as good as todays synth ones, when those saws were new.

    Never use cheap mix oil!
    Firewood saws: Jonsereds Raket 621 (1970), Husky 353G (2003), Euro Stihl MS361W (2004), Husky 372xpg (nov 2006), Husky 339xp (may 2007), Husky 346xpg New Edition (sept 2007), Jonsered 2153WH (april 2010), Husky 560xpg (nov 2011).

    Witchys saw, Dolmar PS5100SH (also may 2007). Rest in peace, my love!

    Ooopsss, forgot to mention;

    If you put more than 2% of oil in your gas, you have to richen the saw on the "H" side, as more oil (in the gas) will make the air to gas mix leaner....

    Thanks. I'm still learning the whole saw tuning game. Hoping to dial it in this weekend. Leaning towards richer is better. I need to find someone closer that has a better "ear" for it as I don't have a tach yet. I'm definately a hesitant tuner at this point!

    I just picked up a carlton closeout bar and chain combo for 20 bucks too! I'm impressed with the condition of the old Sandvik .058 bar on it though! They don't make bars anymore do they?

    Yes they do in fact. Sandvik no longer owns Windsor, but those great Windsor "Speed Tip" bars are still available.

    The Sandvik bar he has might not be the speed tip though. Some of the older Sandvik bars have a weird looking sprocket nose on them with an asymmetrical attachment pattern.

    Oops just looked at his pic again, it looks like it is a laminated bar.
