@@Sensei948 I recommend any FD rated oil to those that ask. Yes you can run 33:1 and many people do run ratios richer in oil than 50:1 without issue...and even swear by it. The people that make these saws and stand behind the warranty say 50:1 is good enough. I have no reason to argue with them.
Great videos, man! Clear, concise, right to the point. I've got a 365 special that starts but barely runs very smokily if I fooll with the choke, and it's leaking fuel out the muffler. I watched your video on that earlier. Question: Any significant difference for this fix between the various 365 's, lke special, XP, etc? What variant was this one?
Thanks. I dont get why it needed carb servicing? Looked like a brand new saw and carb? Maybe the guy who brought you did richer fuel mix with lets say classic red stihl oil so chainsaw started bogging and eventually died? Mine 365XT with 22" bar goes on default factory settings cutting about 10 cords of hard Euro Oak tree last 8 years so that is cca 80 cords on factory settings and same factory spark plug? I use husqvarna synthetic blue oil for mix.
How do you adjust the carb setting with those stupid limiters on the high low screws? I cant figure out how to remove the limiters to pull the screws out or adjust more than a 1/4 turn.
It depends on the time of year. In the spring when stuff is coming out of storage...or should I say fermentation...it could average 5 a day. I have a lot of other responsibilities at the shop so don't always spend all day at the bench.
