Does it run any different? I have to ask, are you using the correct splined screwdriver?

 

[don5477]

i have the right splined screwdriver i can feel it turning, it does make a differences when i turn them, also it speeds up if i tilt the saw bar cover side down not enough to turn the chain tho my rpm meter wont work right on it

Does fuel leak from anywhere?

 

[don5477]

no fuel leaking anywhere its only a week old this is my second time using it

 

[cuinrearview]

What are you using for fuel?

 

[don5477]

husky mixing oil and 93 fuel at 50 to1

That's the recommendation, but most here mix at 40:1. You can always take your concerns to your dealer since the saw is still under warranty.

yeah i might have to thank you for helping

No problem. I would suggest more but your best bet is to let the dealer do what you paid him to do.

I have a 450 xtorq and I have never messed with the factory adjustments. It runs great the plug is on the light side but the piston looks great after 6 years of use. I also run 40:1 and no smoke issues.

is this normal for these saws it looks to be burning very hot to me

I personally like to wait til the saw is broke in " several tanks " before i fine tune.
You actually want the saw burning rich during break-in period.
The plug looks like a new plug because it is.

If you can tune by ear, I'd rich'n it up a little or just take it back to dealer being that it's new.
