No AF?

That's one way to get rid of horseflies.

One of my pine trees got rained on and broke

2511t is the first saw cutting up the branches, then 355t & 352 making timed cuts.

What length bar is on the 2511.
That one echo must have faded red lol.

14" Stihl 1/4 .043

16" oregon on the 355t and 352. The 352 was a bit rich, so it could be a little faster.

Are you liking it better than the lp.
Did you try a stihl picco/lp on it too.

I haven't tried any 3/8 stihl yet, I'm sure I'd like the Stihl more. As for the 1/4 .043, it's nice and smooth, and quick enough with the depth gauges filed a bit, but 3/8 is faster. I'd probably go back to 3/8 only if I use Stihl chain to avoid the jumpiness.

It's a light saw, sure it will be jumpy, maybe square ground .
Stihl picco is pretty aggressive, filed with a 10 degree angle like Oregon suggests and remove the hook and it will smooth out a little.

MT learning

V1. Different fuel.

 

[huskyboy]

Hmm. First video ran better? What do you think doc?

 

[RI Chevy]

Very nice!

 

[chipper1]

AT lol.

Number 2.
You know their different right.
Id change the fuel in 1 and retry.
But I'd also be happy if mine ran like either one .

Number 1 (V2) was filled with VP and Klotz Benol at 32:1. Grabbed wrong container. Number 2 (V1) was VP and Saber at 40:1.

They run better with 40:1 or leaner, especially if the oil is a high viscosity oil. I use Motul800 at 32:1 in my other saws and the MT can’t flow enough to handle it.

I think that V2 would have run better on the Saber at 40.

 

[RI Chevy]

They may run better at closer to 50:1, BUT is it affecting longevity? That is the big question...

We use a 362 at work that redfin ported and it's cut more wood this summer than all the saws the polishers have collectively and it's been ran at 50:1...

I wouldn't worry about it I know that much..

It even has a dull chain and a dirty air filter sometimes...

 

[huskyboy]

40:1 is just fine with good erl... I think too rich oil mix confuses the mtronic/autotune sometimes. After all they were designed for 50:1 mix I would guess.

They absolutely run better at leaner ratios.

They even last a long time.

We've used red armor all summer. It works.
