To Mange:

Thanks, Mange for posting the pictures. I can better see what everyone is talking about. Can't say as I've ever seen anyone with a chaincatcher on a saw. Good idea to keep in mind. Thanks. Lewis.

5-20, High side carb adjustment.

Well fellas, fueled up the 5-20, warmed her up and disconnected the vane govenor, and adjusten the High side carb adjustments to the point where she 4 cycles or blubbers at WOT. Shut her down, reconnected the govenor and she seems to run a lot smother. The govenor isn't cycling or hunting up and down at all, but holds a fairly steady rpm when the throttle is held open. Now will have to see what she sounds like in cutting some wood. Thanks to all for your replies. Lewis.

What does "WOT" mean?

 

[sedanman]

Wide, Open, Throttle. Or, full throttle, maximum speed.
