What's a solid number for a stock ms361 and a stock ms460? I just tested both and got 160psi after 3 pulls. is that good?

 

[huskihl]

I'd say about normal. Might pull it 10 times and you'd have a more accurate reading.

It's not bad. A little higher wouldn't be surprising, but 160 isn't out of line. Keep pulling a few more times and see if it's any higher. Also, what's your elevation?

 

[Jlgholland]

Not sure on the elevation "northern ohio". both saws were cold, does that make any difference?

Pull like a maniac and until the Guage stops climbing.
460 should be 170+
160 ain't bad for 3 pulls

 

[Jlgholland]

Should I run the saw to warm it up first ?

 

[jmssaws]

You want it cold

I'm trying to remember (I've had a few beers), but I think it is about 3 psi drop per 1,000'. I'm at 2,000, so I add 6 psi for sea level. Perhaps some one can correct me..

Stock saws around my area are usually 150 or so.

160 in 3 pulls, yeah your saws are fine

About 800 feet more or less .
