I finally got around to running it last weekend and here are my thoughts..
1. Seemed very lackluster for the first tank. Was not impressed. Realized it was running a hair too rich.
2. By the end of the second tank it stated to really wake up. Tweaked the carb a little more.
3. Whoa! Third tank was love.
4. While I've always leaned a little towards the stihl side and really like the ergonomics of my 026, I'm now to the point that i think the 026 might get sent down the road. This is a fun saw.
Lastly, I don't know how the sizes of the tanks compare but if they are close to equal, this thing seems to sip fuel. I'll be spending a little more time with it to see if I still feel this way but I'm very happy with the outcome.
