I fell a couple trees with my new MS362 today. I had the shop tune it at the time of purchase. The saw just didn't cut like I thought it should, it didn't take much to stop the chain. My saw has a tach and the hour meter which shows .3 hours and I only ran 1/2 tank thru it. I wanted to baseline the compression so I'd have a reference and it came in at 110psi on three tests (WOT). There is nothing wrong with my compression gauge I've used it lately on two other saw's I have and trust the gauge. I'm really nerves after reading other members post on new saw compressions. Should I take this saw in for warranty or is it too early to tell. I'm really thinking about running a camera into the cylinder to see how it looks. The saw power is so low too dangerous to use to fall anymore trees.
