As you can see the saw is mostly assembled sans handle and oil lever, partly because I'm gonna take it back apart to put on the death cycle, A.K.A motorized bike I'm building. I had a time dialing in the carb settings but 4 turns out seems to do the trick at half choke, any more the screw's start to vibrate lose. I had to sink the saw into some wood, and boy let me tell you it rips through the 5" red oak I had on hand. I had to hold the saw at the bottom of the pull start because it's missing the handle. I lowered and raised the exhaust port .5mm each, took out the divider, widened the sides 1.5mm each. On the intake I took out the hump and widened the sides to match the intake boot, I also polished the ports and ground a little of the lip of the inside of the pipe to Match the ports.
