well i been taking some painful courses in running saws to lean.
as some know i recently dida number on my 667 solo.

had some time yesterday so decided to go thru all my saws to recheck the carb settings.
first revelation was in turning the h-l setting all the way in to the seat,so as to start over. one h setting was just a quarter turn off the seat.not so good.
saw sounded great but ,gotto believe i was headed for trouble with that one.
so i turned all of them in all the way,then one full turn out, and started adjusting from there. after a little ,i realized that while they were cutting well,
most were just a tad to lean for regular use.its my belief that in hard cut ,to say the least they would wear out much quicker,
and i coulda had another cookout.:)
this post is for u fellas who might be like me and have been adjusting for higher rpm.now u mechanics go ahead an laugh but,
im betting theres a lot o lean running saws out there.:)
hope this saves a saw or two.jmho.and it is humble this time.:)
