Just getting a consensus, as to what's the best RPM to run a 268xp at? My manual states 13300 as the max RPM. Just wanted to see if anyone runs it lower or higher, or just at 13300?
No need to go higher than 13,000. I don't think it's a good idea to set them right at the max.
Unless I've misunderstood, the answer is that you set the mixture so that the engine multi-strokes at 13,500rpm without a load, in order that the correct mixture is delivered to safely provide maximum power at 10,000rpm when fully loaded.If a saw is timed to make peak power and cut at 10000rpm why turn it up to 13500 max rpm, it wont cut any faster, it will still cut at 10000.
