Opened up the L screw just a bit. Also flipped the winter/summer tab. Not sure how important that is. Cut for about 25 minutes. It ran fine. Hope that gets it. We'll see. Thanks again.

No. I didn't have any tools with me. Was clearing a fence line after work, used an axe on some little stuff, then knocked off for the night. Will give it a try. Thanks.

I have a Stihl MS200 - 15-20 tanks of gas old. On Sunday it started right up and ran great. Yesterday afternoon, filled it up with gas, started it up, ran fine for 4 or 5 minutes, then it started acting balky. Died a couple of times. Would run if I babied it. Seemed like there was a flat spot in...

Pictures Here are pictures that should have been on the post. Sorry, still learning the routine here.

I have a question about woodshed design. When I built a lean-to specifically for storing wood I made it very open, with no walls but enough roof to keep off rain and blowing snow. My second string woodshed lean-to was built tight with walls and doors. I pulled off one door but kept the...

We heat with wood about 90% of the time. 90 year old Minnesota farm house. Vermont Castings stove. 4-5 cords per year. Good wood-red elm, red and burr oak, hickory(we are getting lots of die-off the last few years). I split it by hand. We have forced air-oil heat and use it in the warm...

I'm a little dubious about that Nebraska chart, at least the splitting part. I think box elder splits easy- not that I want any of it anyway. It is a weed around here. Bitternut hickory splits very easily. Red elm splits medium at best, but it is worth the effort.

Here in Southern Minnesota, elm has been widely available for 30 years because of Dutch Elm disease. First thing I do when looking at an elm is get a chunk and try splitting it. Then I decide how much effort to put into it. Red elm(Slippery or Rock Elm) is primo firewood. It can sit in the...

Oops. I think I meant 372. I'm bad with numbers. You ought to see me ordering chain. All I know is whatever its model number, it had plenty o'power.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. I've got a few more questions, but I'll be a good citizen and make sure I continue to read some of the old discussions before I become a pest. My experience with this saw was like that guy who was disapointed with a new 361. I thought the new $500 saw would...

I've been reading stuff on ArboristSite for two months. This is my first post. I've been running a MS360 for a couple of years now - it replaced a trusty Jonsered 621. Saw's been running great and has cut approx. 25 cords of firewood here in Minnesota. My buddy just bought a tach; we checked...
