I agree and disagree. It's nice not having to mess with tuning, right up until the saw starts to act up and you know ten seconds with a screwdriver would fix, but now have to take her in to see if it threw any codes.
Yep, them variables will mess with you out in the woods. Screwdrivers, files, dot dot dot…$100 tach, free screwdriver, not knowing how to tune, priceless….

I think people should feel sorry for me, I dont own a 70cc saw.:cool:

What??? 044, MOFO 462, MMWS 462, CFB Hybrid, MOFO Hybrid, MOFO 460 ... You need a 70 cc saw!

I run 18" 3/8 on my MMWS 261 V II, and 20 and 24" on my ported 462s. Do 90% of my stuff with those 3 saws.

My ported 572xp is my favorite ! I've owned a few 372xp oe which were also great saws . IMO the biggest difference is the 572 has so much more torque . I run 3/8 24'' 8t and 3/8 28'' 8t and I can just push so hard it lugs the engine down and keeps pulling the chain without stalling . I have messed around with 28'' 404 full comp , full chisel and it pulls that pretty good also .

The third one just came to me the other week from a tree guy ... blown spark plug threads. It is the only model saw that has come to me with that problem!

I'm not saying someone did not over tighten the plug, but I'm sure they do the same to all their saws!

They do run very nicely, especially when ported.

I live in western colorado and regularly cut in the 8,000' - 10,000' range. I don't own any A/T or M/T saws but I always assumed that they would have enough adjustment range to tune at these elevations. Does this apply to stock saws only? Have you run modified A/T M/T saws at high elevations?

Problems I had were with stock saws mainly, I only ran one ported 661 at high elevation, for two tanks, it seemed to have better manners then the stock saws did, it didn't load up, bog, not idle, like the others did.
