Please bear in mind that the settings are likely to be to conform to minimum emissions & may need to be a "tweeck" richer for optimum running, good starting settings, but still need to be set by ear/tach for best results

Absolutely agree Little Al. Set it to spec then test for acceleration and performance in the cut, and inspect the plug after a couple of tanks too.

 

My 390 was very lean and would have seriously exceeded the max rpm at WOT, H needed a 1/4 turn ACW (richer) to get to the recommended performance and a bit more for comfort and running in. Accelerated nicely at all settings and torque seems unaffected.

 

What tach are people using to tune saws?

Look for one with a 0.5sec refresh rate.

I've got an Oppama PET-302R. Only paid about £20 off the bay for it, run against two other tachoes and all gave similar results which is always encouraging. Most of the Stihl/Husky/Echo branded tachoes are rebranded Oppamas.
