[QUOTE="MacAttack, post: 7917026, member: 166878"] Lol... the poor 4218. I have one, given to me for free. Carb kit and retuned and it runs well enough, can't seem to get a good tune at idle, it honestly acts like not enough slack in the throttle cable. I think I have both fuel needles out almost 2 1/2 turns or else it's too lean. I get it to idle perfect, make a few cuts and then idle is too high or low. It's almost new so Im not suspicious of a seal leak, and it doesn't act like a seal leak. Just a friggin impossible saw to tune just right. My 50 year old McCullochs run way better. For what it is, it works fine, would never be used in a professional environment, but if something happened to it I wouldn't care. [/QUOTE]
