Bailey's catalogs get that crossed up with MANY saws, that is, peak power vs no-load-max rpm. Obviously not the gospel.
Sometimes you need more than one source for info.

Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to start out with a MM and re-tune on my Makita and see how she does. I just wanted something small and light to hide in my car trunk for any wood discoveries that I come across on the way home from work. I have a Dolmar 109 for this but I think she's a little over used and may need a new ring. I just keep my trunk monkey saw full of fuel and bar oil and that is enough cutting time to fill a large trunk. It's amazing how much wood you can collect when you consistently bring home trunk fulls of choice wood.

Thanks for the reply, sorry you had a crap day - we all have them sometimes, but that doesn't help when it's you that is swearing.
Good luck getting to the bottom of your list of "issues". From here I can't seem to add them all up and make any sense. Obviously the drive issue will be sorted out with a bit of a look, but the carby issues sound like a mare to fix. Sounds like it isn't pulling quite enough air through, am I correct in assuming you didn't do any port work or match up any of the inlet tract? Just did a muff mod? How aggressively did you open the muffler?
The list of questions is kinda for my benefit more than yours perhaps - again, good luck getting it sorted.
I wish the forum would start a Library. This way we could post the shop manuals and IPL's in one place for all to use.
Did you ever get the Dolmar manual? If you want a copy, send me an email address via PM and I will send you a copy of the one I have. PS-340, 341, 400, 401.
