Greetings from Hayward WI,
I picked up one of those little Makita dcs330TH saws from Baileys and I'm getting it dialed in. I'm not a tuning pro, so here's my problem for all of you:
The saw idles nicely at 2850-2900. It seems like I have to nurse it up wot gently or it will bog and die. Sometimes you can hit the trigger and it revs right up to wot, but not always. Once at wot, it seems stable with a hint of 4 stroke at 11,500-11,600 or so. It cuts well for a small saw at wide open but if you force it a bit too much, it bogs and dies, rather than just slowing and stopping the chain like I'm used to with bigger saws. The fuel is the same fresh 91 octane with Husky synthetic oil at 50:1 that I run in my 357 without any problem.
What do you suggest I do with my H/L short of dissecting my saw and trimming limiters etc.?
Many thanks
Chris
