Take your time until you get used to the different saws. Keep your chain sharp too. If you need help sharpening the cutters or lowering the depth gauges, just ask.

I just got a CS370 off ebay for $61 like new, all it needed was tuning plus I muff modded it, nice saw. steve
Often wondering about these. Comparable to the 3900, weight and cut?
I haven't run a 3900. The 370 is kinda a lame duck as it weighs the same as the CS400 which cuts a lot faster. I bought this one thinking it was burnt up and I have a brand new CS400 shortblock waiting for a saw, I pulled the muff off and was like brand new inside so just pulled the caps and tuned as it wouldn't even rev up, plus a muff modd. I'll be selling it foraround $150 or so. Steve

Sharpen it or have it sharpened before you put it in the right way, looks dull. Learn how to tune it, pull the caps and tune. I just got a CS370 off ebay for $61 like new, all it needed was tuning plus I muff modded it, nice saw. steve

I dont know what is on the carb H L on the echo 370. Never had one in my hands. Here is what I found. The IPL shows what appears to be a adjustable carb. Dont mess with carb till you figure out why your chain isnt cutting IMO.

Pics of chain?

Is it hard to tune up a saw?
-
Brand new saw, brand new chain, chain is on correctly
-
either you hit something that pooched the chain right away or you have the chain on backwards? that little 'shark fin' is supposed to be in front of the cutter, not behind :)
and yes. they are usually pretty lean out of the box. I highly recommend getting it properly tuned at a good shop.

New saw new chain? Chain on backwards?
Used saw? Did you sharpen the chain? Is the chain on backwards?
I have seen new saws set very lean and had to adjust from get go.

Okay so I just bought my first chainsaw and im having a problem, its an Echo CS 370, I just recieved it yesterday and got it put together and I tried to cut a peice of wood in half and its not cutting properly, it seems to be burning the wood more than cutting it, I have a chainsaw that I borrowed from my uncle and its an older homelite and I tried that one and it cut right through the log, is it possible that the chain is just bad? I also saw on a different forum someone said that when you buy a new chainsaw they are set to 'lean' and to "pull the limiter cap and adjust thw richer" but I dont know what that means or how to do it, if someone could please help me out id realpy appreciate it.
