Bought one from a member here. JUST got the saw back from the shop. Got a new carb, and tuned it in with the new B&C.
I bought a 28 inch B&C for it, full chisel. The saw is a 041 frame with a 046 piston and jug. It seems that screaming, the saw does fine. If it bogs down, it just doesn't have juice enough to get the RPM's back up unless I pull out of the cut. I usually run a Husqavarna, but I am not opposed to Sthil. So, am I just not used to running a Sthil? Do they have no bottom end? Or am I running too big of a bar?
I looked up the power rating on the saw, and found it to be 76cc (this rating is for a 046). I would think almost 80 cc's should be suffiencient to the B&C, Especially considering I was only cutting some cherry. Not the hardest wood around..
So, where am I wrong?
