Interesting morning with the new saw. It started right up and went through about a half tank of gas tuning and letting it break in. Started a haf dozen times or so. After lunch my brother in law stopped in to see it and BAM! back to kicking back and feeling like it was hydo locked, which I knew it wasn't. JLong story short and some bad words later it was the Hyway decompression valve. Took it out and put in the one from the Farmertec kit and it starts like it is supposed to. Put the Hyway one in and you can't start it. Will be going to the dealer this week and get an OEM one. Took it to my brother in laws and he had a 24" hackberry down. Didn't time the cuts but the Holzforma(?) Bar and chain did pretty well. He said it would smoke his ms290.
