    Echo 355T tuning difficulties...

    Thanks, guys! Limiters were gone a year ago. Way rich from factory, like y'all mentioned. Went back out and played with it under the assumption that the idle air screw needs to be turned counterclockwise to CLOSE the butterfly valve more, and got it running right. It is prettayyyy prettaaay...

    At least it wasn't running too lean :LOL:

    Echo 355T tuning difficulties...

    You reckon the surging is indicative that I've got a carb issue? Like I say, I've not checked the normal stuff like fuel filter and whatever air inlet there is in the fuel cap (there is one on the 355, right?), so that is next. But, I was hoping that perhaps me having that idle screw in all...

    Echo 355T tuning difficulties...

    Addendum... I have it on good authority that my understanding of the idle screw adjustment is backwards - in other words, all the way 'seated' on that guy equates to opening the throttle. So, that explains the low jet being able to take it up to 8000 rpms, at least. Derrrrrrr

    Echo 355T tuning difficulties...

    I wanted to do a ground-up tune on my 355T that I muffler modded a few days ago, and so I seated the low and high jets, as well as the idle screw (everything clockwise, in other words). I'm assuming that the idle screw being all the way seated means that the butterfly/ is fully shut. Where...

    But when you really need it, I bet it works like a boss since you're not 'conditioned' or whatever, eh?

    Makita XCU08/09 (14"/16") vs. ...?

    I went ahead and got the 14" 36V Makita. Price was right. Man, that thing accelerates. Want to get that 1/4" deal worked out at some point...

    Makita XCU08/09 (14"/16") vs. ...?

    Got a response from sawagain.com (emailed them too), saying that the 1/4" Makita spur sprocket would work for any 1/4" chain - standard profile and low profile. No idea if that's true or not, but there it is. Awesome, if so.

    Makita XCU08/09 (14"/16") vs. ...?

    So, it IS 1/4" Picco, it looks like, judging from Stihl's saw-chain table. I have a couple other saws with the chisel chains on them - that'd be awesome if I could run a PS3 on this guy. From Arbsession's website, what comes on them is 3/8 LP 0.043" gauge chain, and the only PS3 chain listed...

    Makita XCU08/09 (14"/16") vs. ...?

    But it is indeed 1/4" and not LP/Picco?

    Makita XCU08/09 (14"/16") vs. ...?

    Can both 3/8's (lp and picco) run on the same bar and drive sprocket? That'd be an awesome first mod to try if so. Edit: did a little reading and it seems like sprockets are good to go between the LP and Picco variants of the same pitch.

    Makita XCU08/09 (14"/16") vs. ...?

    I couldn't find anything where they were talking about something other than dime tip carving bars, 10" stuff etc.

    Makita XCU08/09 (14"/16") vs. ...?

    Thanks - a couple questions... 1) It's regular 1/4" pitch, correct? Not 1/4" picco or something? And 0.043" gauge. 2) Is there currently a 16" bar that fits these requirements? Edit: apologies if this is premature. I'm still Googling

    Makita XCU08/09 (14"/16") vs. ...?

    Got to use the 14" today very briefly...dang. Had the factory 3/8" LP on there and it was still awesome (I had low expectations, tbh). Buried the bar in a ~14" white oak log. Cut one cookie and tried a bore cut. It seems like it would be fine for my purposes. It would require a little bit of...

    Haha you blew my cover, dude! Only you and the NSA knew who I was xD Ok - thanks for the info. I suspected as such - thought I smelt that rotten horse carcass smell.

    Apologies - I meant of the Blue Moon and Ivy selection, is it 100% confirmed that there are certain ones which are poly/poly and others which are poly/nylon? I thought 1) that Blue Moon and Ivy were all colorways of the same rope, and 2) they were all poly/poly.
