Bring that action out here, you'll be standing there a while in hardwood, might have a chair or two as well .Skip on that short of a bar? Heck I run full comp on 32’s or semi skip.

I'm sure you would do just fine with skip or semi skip, but with full comp you'd have a slow go at it unless the rakers were at .020.We run them in the hardwoods just like that as well, it’s all about chain set up.

That's cool. All I know is I wouldn't cut with nearly as long of a bar if I was cutting primarily softwood or even softer hardwoods.I know some guys who have cut right a way on the east coast from out here they don’t change much a little bit of the angle of the cutter. A big difference is how we cut as well most of us don’t bore all the time we use a T or Coos style back cut.

Where are the carb screws set at?So now that it’s not super cold I went outside To start it up. Nothing happened.
Per your guys advice put a bit of premix in the carb, it started and ran for 10 seconds.
Now it starts every time with a few pulls even with choke closed. With choke open runs about 5-7 seconds, pressure release valve pops out, push it in, restart, does the same thing.
The Oiler oils the chain nicely, leaves a good trail, chain runs smoothly during that 5 seconds. Any throttle applied during this time instantly kills it.
I guess this is good start. Where do I go from here?

I am no expert, but first is fuel getting to the carb? bad fuel lines or clogged filters may cause this type issue. That is where I start.
Learn to adjust the carburetor and do it.
"I will absolutely need a tach to get accurate tuning"and "one on amazon for $12." do not really go hand in hand.
In order to get accurate tuning- first you need an accurate (and probably more expensive) tachometer.
I have had a tac for over 20 years. Used it a lot at first but now it is tune by ear and just great results. I am probably closing in on 1,000 saws built/repaired. Just because the manual says 13,000 RPM does not mean that is a correct tune. It may be to high or to low. Mike
In the wood. How do you tune one with a tac?
