I bought this saw new and have put quite a few hours on it. Last year I started noticing a lack of power. I have had it to my local repair guy and it still isn't quite right. Compression is good. The carb has been replaced this spring. The first time out after the carb replacement it seemed pretty close to normal. It just doesn't seem like it is coming up to full speed. Sometimes I can nurse it up to speed by tweaking the throttle. I am going to try to play with the mixture screw today. I have quite a bit of smaller wood to cut so I can make fine adjustments and see if I can find the sweet spot. Any thoughts? The spark arrester screen has been removed. I am using fresh non-ethanal gas and Stihl synthetic oil.
