Chainsaw Repair

Have you tried opening up the low speed needle to where the saw idled and accelerates well and cut wood with it? 

No, again you make a good point.

I was waiting for my wife to sharpen my chains before I put them back on. I hate to admit it but she has a lot more finesse with a file than I do. An old time wood cutter around here let her place her hand on top of his as he sharpened a chain and she picked right up on it. I can never get a chain as sharp as either of them. Too clumsy and heavy-handed I guess.

Nonetheless I should at least put a dull one on and try it out and will do so when I get home.

Thanks,

John
