I just wonder if you adjust the carburetor with or without bar and chain on.

lI like to set my high speed idle while the saw is cutting, under a load, with a digi tach.

Initially I set my high speed idle on the bench,
Then once the saw is broke in, a few tanks of gas through it, i will check the rpm's in the cut.

This is how i do my rebuilt saws:
I just did a 036 last weekend, and its turning 13,500 rpm, in the cut.
Yes, it will be overrevving if you arenot in the cut, but why would you run the saw wide open if not in the cut?
Thats my logic anyway. I havent had any bearing failures yet.

Shade and Rich,
Yes, you are both corect, it is running a little lean on the high side. I try to compensate for that but running the low speed a little richer, since it supplies about 30% of the fuel at WOT.
Yes, they do over rev, and run very lean if they are not in the cut, but i try to avoid that situation as much as possible.
