need advice on tuning too lean or rich

[jcquade]

I have a echo 620 pw. I did a new deflector shield from gearhead. I tuned it with the tachometer and tried to tune it in the wood. I like to hear some advice on whether I have it too lean or too rich. I did two sample cuts so hopefully you can hear it. I appreciate any feedback you have on how I can tune in better.

Sounds good to me. I wouldn't force it into the wood so hard.

thank you for the pointer

Are you sure the chain is sharp? What kind of wood it is? A 60cc saw should pull a little better imo, but depends on the wood i guess.

it is an elm. had nice size chips flying off

did start pinching the bar as I got deeper into it. I just picked a spot with a thicker piece so I could show the cut.

Sounds good to me too. Let the saw do the work.
