I like when the customer calls and i have to drop everything I am doing to fix their problems over the phone. Why am I talking to them? Isn't the service managers job?

Service managers, in no way shape or form manage anything, except to avoid actually managing things.

Is this a Makita or Dolmar 6100 you are talking about?

If so, what is it that makes it harder to tune?

Is it kind of a “strato” setup?
Same saw.

After they are modded I'm sure they are more sensitive to tune. Most guys fugh it up rather than get it tuned correctly. The "trick" is to use a tach....find the rpm limit, go a bit leaner than "against the rev limiter". That not something that's black or white.....it's a learned process that can be interpreted a bazillion ways evidently. On the low side, you have to BARELY turn the screw, then use it a little while before moving it more. It's not a quick or easy process to get it back right after someone gets it way out of tune. Usually, the saw will seem fat on the low side when first started.....and as a result, it will idle too low. Then the user opens the throttle plate more.....then it idles too high once it hot. So....they fatted up the low side to make it idle down. Next time they use it.....same thing. Before long, they have the throttle plate WAY too far open, and low side adjustments do nothing.

I've bought back three of them over the years. Retuned.....and resold.
Ahh. I thought total.
My reading and comprehension is not on point today.

The second in command at work just told me to go home and grow up and that he was going to call my wife to tell her I need to grow up because I got pissed when it's suddenly my fault that resetting the brake pad monitor on a truck the customer replaced on his own didn't fix his shorted pad sensor and I'm supposed to diagnose it for free.
He should call my wife. She'll tell him he's a little bìtch and can GFY.
I should go home, but I know it will piss him off more if I stay..
I couldn't work in that environment. I'd kill a mfer.

See my post earlier today about stabbing someone with my boot.
The majority of the time I get left alone. Once in a while stuff just builds up.

Well you just need a wood chipper and a couple rental pigs
Problem solved

I do actually need a wood chipper.
The regen in some of my woods is ridiculous and I'd like to thin ot but there's just so much brush...

Those things are expensive though.

Considering where you live you might already have some ice skates

Try stabbing people with those

I find they penetrate better with less effort

It’s all about working smarter, not harder

I love that red oak coming in strong. Hope I get lots of regen

would take a lot of kicks and attempts to “stab someone with a boot” so I think that’s the point just kick teh chit out of em 😆

People have mentioned similar things to me before.
I think there is something to be said about the joyful brutality of attempting to stab them with a blunt object. It helps prove the "point" better than quick and easy.
