So I've been telling my pal that I need to tune the saw for him. He keeps refusing, telling me it runs fine. The last time I made a cut with this saw, the ambient temp was under 18*F.
He's stopped taking his 038 Mag to jobs now. He says this saw is so light and cuts so well, he only takes Maggy to large stumping jobs. He let the techs at Long Island Power (the machine supply place here) run the saw and they liked it very much. Couldn't believe the power in a light package.
So he's finally brings it by and I tell him to make a cut, and the thing is slobbering. It was at 8500-9000 rpm. Had to turn the H screw in about 1/2 turn just to get it to 14k.
He just shook his head is disbelief after that point.
