Does anyone have a link to tuning a chainsaw in the cut? Unfortunately both my primary saws have limited coils and I really want to make sure they are adjusted right. I plan on going out cutting in the next couple days after work and the coil I have on order from Baileys won't be here yet.

I just richened up both my 346XP and 372 by about 1/4 Turn from the limiter settings.

Both saws seem to run good but the 346 has been having a tendency to die after releasing the throttle under load or even when it's out of wood. I'm guessing it needs a low speed adjustment which I just haven't gotten around to yet.

I do have an unlimited coil and Fast-Tach on order

Thanks a bunch Brad. After this season I may be shipping you my 372 for a porting job if you're still doing them that is.
