Recently acquired an S10 with a 24" bar and 3/8 Chisel. A friend from church also brought one to me, 17" bar and 404 Chisel, for a tune-up. He said it was "bogging" off idle and smoking. The low speed screw was about 2/3 turn open, opening to 1+ took care of bogging, but it does smoke. He assured me the mix is 40/1 and not more than a month old. It has a Tillotson HS Carb with govenor built into carb body. This saw has 90# of compression and turns about 8700 RPM. It seems to cut well, but not fast. May be the low RPM's. Compared to my 026 with 14" bar and 325 chain (turning in excess of 15000 and seeming to be looking to rev even faster). For the guys that are familar with S10, is this anywhere near the right compression and governed RPM. This 026 is my toy and I know eventually I will push it too far, but not yet!!!
