My trusty MS 361, bone stock, original carb settings, recently started giving me problems at start up, particularly in the very cold (10-15F). I've had this saw for about 5 yrs now and it has been dead solid reliable starting cold and dry to hot and humid. Recently, it has been taking 10-20 pulls to start. At cold start, I put it on full choke until it pops, then high-idle, etc, but this just doesn't do it. I usually need a couple extra pulls on full-choke ?to get enough gas in the cylinder. Then for the first few minutes of running, it's got a terrible bog on acceleration. To me, this sounds like I need to open the "L" screw. What do you all think? I haven't been able to test this out yet. It seems funny that it has run for many years on standard settings, and only now it's giving me grief.
