[injun joe]

i hear a lot about this saw can any of you guys tell me the specs and what makes them so great. there is a lot of good talk about it and if its that good i might consider buying 1 currently i have a 390 it runs like crap with a 20'' bar but does good with a 28'' bar.

Do a search... this topic comes up a lot... all you might have to do is go back a couple pages in the archives...

Your 390 likes a 28" bar better than a 20"? What brand are we talking about?

 

[2dogs]

Joe ya gotta learn to search. BTW Payute?

 

[Nuzzy]

I vote trolling. But I suppose I've been wrong before... :monkey:

I think you mean peyote..natural mescaline

If you log on to AS and don't get hit on the head with a 361 thread,
you must be on something.:censored:

 

[willsaw4beer]

Yeah there seem to be about as many ms 361 threads as oil threads.

 

[forestryworks]

if he meant the group of native americans, then Paiute

I think you mean peyote..natural mescaline

if he meant high, as did you, then yes, the psychedelic catci

Probably a Stihl 390 if it runs like crap. I don't think a 390XP would have any problems with a 20" bar On the other hand, I can't see how a MS390 could run well with a 28" bar.

 

[serial killer]

You're lying.

..... currently i have a 390 it runs like crap with a 20'' bar but does good with a 28'' bar.

A strange smell here....:notrolls2:







...or your 20" chains are dull, and you don't know what to do with them (not likely)....

The fix for the governor of Illinois trying to sell Obama's Senate seat?

Your statement seems a bit convoluted

How is it your saw runs better with a longer bar????????????

they usually have a bit more power with a shorter bar?????

So,,,,, w"Sup with that???? :monkey: :monkey:

the only thing I can think of is he not adjusting the carb when switching bar sizes. I had an 039 and it would pull a 28 not as well as my 441 but it would do it.

Willsaw, that brings up a good question...what type of oil SHOULD I be running in my new 361?....(hee hee hee):hmm3grin2orange:

 

[mtfallsmikey]

I want to try Sam's choice 2-stroke mix.

 

[Stein]

I think the OP just typoed and meant that it runs like crap with a 20" but runs an 18" (not 28) well.

You run different carb settings for each bar?

 

[2dogs]

You have to adjust the carb whenever the saw needs it. Different bar, elevation change, what ever. The saw will tell you what it needs. Besides, adjusting the carb is a 30 second job.
