Great video and explanation as always Brad. Quick question though. Did you trim the tabs off the limiters, then re-install on this saw?

I don't own a saw with the tabs still on the limiter caps. They get clipped immediately.

No video tonight. I had to install a mulching kit on my mower so that I can get my leaves taken care of.

This is my first post so let me start by saying what a great forum this is!! Also, great video.

I understand why you set up a saw so that it is fourstroking at WOT but can someone explain what is actually going on in the engine that is causing it to 'warble'? I'm new to chainsaw--thanks.

I have spent a lot of time here, that is the first time that I have actually heard the 4 stroke and the resolution!

Thanks for sharing and taking the time on this, a lot of stuff just made sense to my pea brain.
