I hear you guys talk about running lean or rich. How's this new fella supposed to tell the difference?

I appreciate the help, I believe I'm running a little lean. I will try and tweak it a little bit. Thanks for the explanations!
On a side note....I'm just gonna have to come pay you a visit. All this song writin' about you has really got me wanting to come buy a 361 from you myself just so I can meet ya.

i bet Thall would just HATE to sell you a new saw...
You need to become familiar with carb adjusting procedures, so you will
know how to finely tune your saw.
When adjusting the high speed screw clockwise, the rpms will rise until screaming, then will start to decline the farther you go, as it is becoming
way too lean. Backing the screw ccw until it slows and starts blurbling
rich, you want to remain on the "rich" side of the screaming, how to do
it correctly requires a tach to dial it in accurately.
Do a search here on carb adjusting for complete procedures, as it has been covered here pretty well many times.
But be aware, mis-adjusting the carb can melt your piston in under a minute. Since you already suspect it has been lean, remove the muffler and look at your piston.
Dam that sum's it up!White spark plug means too lean.
Brown plug is just right.
Heavy Black soot is too rich.
Another way to tell that your too lean is when the piston scores, not the best way to find out though
I would feel awful bout that, probably as bad as I would feel winning the lottery,:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
Well brother Hill don't be shy,
get in ya car and come on by.
No need to ask the reasons why, you'll understan,
my famous idea called the 3 saw plan.
Pull up a chair and set a spell,
grab this 361 and go give it hell.
Have a pepsi and take a look around,
Gald you finally made it to Leesburg town.
Enjoy that fine looking new saw now ya hear,
Drive safe and if ya ever need anything I'm right here.
