[Mid TN tree]

I'm wanting to advance the timing on my climbing saw. From reading I file the left side of the key correct?

Mtronic or standard saw?

Grind the key so the flywheel advances counterclockwise.

Well, how's it running after that?

Man it ran good for about 10 seconds. Really screamed! Then it started missing & popping & wouldn't idle. I put the original back & it still acted funny? I cleaned the coil & mounts & cleared up.

When someone says “really screams”, it often means it’s running way too fast because it’s too lean.
