You will need to tune it a little less than that. You will find that you will need to tune that saw to 13,000 even for it to sound correctly to you in the wood.

Take note that you should re-tune the saw every time you go to use it and the temperature is significantly different.

Also a saw in a big cut will run leaner after it gets hot than it did in the beginning. So If you are going to do some big wood for the size of the chainsaw, you need to begin a little richer.

Also you can burn up a saw in big wood even with it on the rich side if the chain is too aggressive or big and you push too hard
We should share what we know... someone may learn...
That knowledge can live after us... and that "Pays It Forward".
Be all that you can be . . .
