I'm familiar with starting a 2 stroke and adjusting the carb. This one is a bit in the gray because it's a new to me saw that was trashed and disassembled when I got it. I still don't know why it failed, haven't been able to get ahold of the owner. I understand the epa wants these things running as lean as possible. I do plan to cut the limiters. This is gonna be my porting guinea pig saw, so I figured I should get it running first. I'll cut with it a little so I have a basis for comparison after some porting and muffler mod. After all that, I can tackle the 365 and 385 I just bought.
Since it flooded at the half way point in the limiter, it seems logical to me to turn them in lean to start so I don't risk flooding again. Then once I get it started I can adjust. Yes or am I so green I'm talking out my...?
