more oil equals more viscous....can equal running leaner....usually more power....or none at all.

That's why I run the same mix in everything I have 2 stroke, I HATE tuning saws.
i do need to check the 365. first time i used it it was 4 stroking badly and i did't have any hard wood but finally managed to get it cleaning up really leaning on it hard in ome soft wood. i leaned it bit but didn't do much. finished the tank and put it away. then i read in the manual...it has a rev limiter....bouncing off the limiter sounds kinda waaaa burbleburble waaaa burblburle waaaa burbrbl burble OOOOoooooo so lean and rich sound different how? and no...no i don't have a tach. i keep meaning to put it back to xactly stock, 1 turn, and leave it alone.
A higher oil percentage will lower you octane rating, but raise your Cetane rating, so it is a mixed bag. The additional oil may also raise compression.
There are too many factors to know how a specific saw will respond.

there's one for sale in Zogger's fundraiser ;-) Or at least will be up for raffle or sale once the details are ironed out.

Got another big oak given to me. Last 2 days I’ve been cutting up the 5-6 maple, cherry and sassafras trees it took with it on its kamikaze dive to the ground. From what I could see today it’s bigger than the last one I got.
That's how it looked to us down under
The best I could do with turning a standing tree into furniture would be to cut it down so it landed on the lounge room
. #skillz. There was a former politician a couple of years ago who floated the idea of receiving unemployment benefits (the dole) being conditional upon having a contraceptive implant so they wouldn't just couch surf and pump out large numbers of tax-hoovering clone kids. It didn't get very far but by the same token was not screeched down by the professionally outraged either. It was like no one wanted to touch the issue for various reasons.

How about try your hand at slabbing a few of the bigger (even some of the smaller) ones and then you'll have at least a year to work out what you can do with them while they are drying? Outdoor table? A bookcase? Even a workbench for the shed, etc. You'll surprise yourself how easy it is.
Fair warning - I'm about to rant...
----------------------
We've had about a month of screaming banshees and perennially aggrieved 'victims' and their professional advocates apoplectic at the treatment dished out by our state family/child protection organisation that has been removing at-risk kids from some terrible environments. Those kids didn't deserve to be born into dysfunction yet the avaricious media and compliant if not complicit public focus almost exclusively on children being ripped from their mothers arms.
This boils my blood for so many reasons. I can't help but consider society these days a disgrace. An abject failure on so many levels.
Whether we are able or prepared to even see or acknowledge it, so many of us are pinning our lives and those of our children on ground that's crumbling and on the edge of an abyss that will swallow almost all of even the solid let alone flaky foundations we've relied upon for generations. When the tide recedes in this recession that's already begun those swimming naked will be exposed as will our moral bankruptcy.
Will we find a way through? Will anyone even care beyond circling the wagons and trying to protect our immediate families? Frankly, I'd like every PC handwringer and parasitic speculator to be consumed in the wildfire. You have no idea how badly I want some people to burn for their roles in promoting the conditions that have eroded the foundations too many of us take for granted. I mean it, you have no idea of the depths of my contempt, my seething stemming from watching society careen towards the abyss with gay abandon.

Don't think so. in that thread on the matter I raised an idea that we just flick off the items we have to donate then paypal the funds to Zogger. Not as much fun as a raffle and only a backstop measure if nothing else gets sorted, but an option nonetheless.
I'm in agreement with you KiwiBro, but remain calm, we need to remain calm to prevail.
The welfare guy on our block has 5 kids and say folks who work full time and pay taxes are Suckers!!! Makes me fume to think that the taxes my Daughter and her Husband pay are used for him and his kids instead of their own, but the only way to deal with it is to remain calm and stay in control, and point out the lunacy to all who will listen!

So, speaking of large Oaks … OK, I'm not cutting it down, but we went for a hike on the Appalachian trail yesterday, and this is the Dover Oak, largest Oak in NYS, and largest tree on the Appalachian Trail! This White Oak is over 300 years old and 22 feet in circumference!

When others gain a benefit they didn't earn or deserve by playing the system, we sometimes hold them aloft as an inspirational measure of success. It doesn't matter to me if they are abusing the welfare system, or taking immoral if legal advantage of a tax loophole or socialising commercial costs, etc. The systems we allow to prevail are batshit crazy to allow it. The excuses people come up with to justify their immorality equally insane and deserving of derision just as much as any smug bene abusing a welfare system.
We've no moral compass, no sense of the greater good, no collective vision or roadmap towards a better run society.
Burn it down and start again from the ashes. It's coming, and long overdue.
nice berries. I have them along some of the x-fence lines up country. I don't pick them as a rule, unless I see some really nice big ones. they r worth getting off the tractor for!
last year I got a small canning jar of home canned blackberry jam given to me. I like store bot jams and jellies, but that jar is the best! 
seen some of those down here. as u say, that's when u really appreciate the wiper's HIGH setting! lol HB, btw - sounds like fun. the .22s etc
here is a saw that continually makes me smile and garnishes my respect with ease! my Echo CS-271T. one mean machine, imo. for my needs will do all I can ask of my 026, everything my 019T might... may even give my 044 a run for its
when completed! (if) lol... here it is in action today... 10, 12 and 14" chunks. could easily handle 18", just 180 it. imo, one heck of a limber and trimmer. I like it so much, if it happened... to throw a rod, I would buy another just like it tomorrow!
big, small or in between... if it can talk the talk, and walk the walk... how can it be wrong?
a sure nuff
chain saw!a real hornet:
and is light, quick, nimble, easy to start, great in 14" wood and larger...
in cooler weather no doubt. but, that's pretty good. down here in the heat... once I get a bucket cut up loaded... takes me about 20-30 mins to stack it once parked. depends on how much in in the bucket. 11 cu ft or maybe 12+ cu ft...
smaller for camp fires
bigger as needed:
I plan to split this small. 4-6 pcs per chunk...
