That's what I did with this one. I richened it up to where it would load up in a hard cut, then start leaning it out till it would pull good & clean without burbleing withlight pressure. I hope that makes sense. I'm not the best at explaining things.:bang:

When I had the 28'' bar on it I richened it up till it would not hit the limiter. I got it to run & hold 13,800 without limiting. But at that setting it wouldn't hardly cut without dogging out in the cut & almost dieing from bein too rich. THen I leaned it out like I described above.

Yes... They can be a pain in the ass...
 
thanks stumpy for the reply.

the plug has been running a light brownish color which seemed OK to me.

can someone explain the advantage to an unlimited coil from a 361. they are $60 on ebay.
 
luckily that hasn't happened yet. when i bought it new the H jet was all the way rich and against the factory stop. after the MM i riched it up more than an additional 1/2 turn. I ran 4 tanks through it after the MM in some big oak and everything seemed OK.....

One advantage for me is to have a true reading of max rpms. That really makes no difference in how it runs if tuned properly in the wood, which I do with unlimited coils too. I just like to know the numbers.

I'll be ordering a coil for this. Just not 100% sure a 361 will work. Wish I woulda thought of it last week when I had a 361 here:bang:

Sounds like you'll be ok. If still in doubt richen it a lil more. It'll tell ya if it has too much fuel.
 
I'd be curious how the 361 coil works too. After my saw was ported it hits the limiter almost instantly.
 
definitely looks like you picked up some speed trying to time it in my head looks like it at least dropped 2 seconds. good job stumpy

About 2 seconds... and 200 decibles. I am thinking it will be easier to run also,like you won't use as much energy with every cut.
 
Stumpy i may be wrong on this but i think the early 362's dident have a limited coil but i may be wrong i think Brad did one that was turning around 14000 I think. Do a search for inside the 362 alot of reading but good info.By the way Great work you do some purty grinding.

Thanks for the info mike. I'll be doin some more checkin on the matter today.

ya its been a fun thing to play with i can't wait to screw around with it. gotta keep dabbling in things like this dan keep you interested in what your doing. keeps me from getting burned out. had a terrible day today one of the fancy safety systems failed on my crane and cost me two hours couldn't move the boom. but on another not the crane company wouldn't accept any money to bypass it and its fixed under warranty.

o and about the decibels i figured the higher decibels will be easier for AA to hear me when I'm cutting. he takes his hearing aid out while working. might get an insurance break for being safety oriented.

just poking fun at you AA.

ok the saw gurus i need some help on this one the husky came in the mail today love the saw but i can't get it to idle what screw do i need to be messing with i turned the H and L way rich then leaned it out to where it ran decent at least i thought but once I'm done making a cut it won't stay running.

and after about 2-3 cuts it seems to load up and i need to pull it out of the wood and rev it a few times then its fine again.

saw is gonna get the big bore kit and some other things but what should i be messing with to get it running decent in the mean time.

Sounds like four runnin a lil to rich. With the saw idleing turn the L screw in till it wants to die, then back it out just a lil till it stays running. You may have to adj the T screw to get the idle down. Turn it out to slow it down.

After you get the idle set like that then make sure it still four strokes without a load. If it's bogging in the cut then it's too rich. Turn the H screw out till it runs clean in the cut & still fourstrokes out of the wood.
 
What kind of tachs are you guys using the ones i seen on ebay had a wire you gotta wrap around the spark plug wire then i seen some that you only had to get close to the spark plug. i never got into tuning any of the saws we run ourself but after looking what they want for a tach i was thinking about picking one up not a super big investment.

ya i ran the 372 for an hour or so today i like the way its balanced they feel really well balanced compared to my 440, or the 441. maybe even a little lighter. I'm gonna ship it out as soon as i get a chance. that way you can get doing what you do to it.
