tuning the 460 mag

Didn't see a spot for tuning so i put it here, So i just bought
a 460 and now ported the exhaust last night, put the cover on
and turned the high and low out to max with disrupting the
limiting things.
So i am blip blip ! seems a little rich blip blip ! So i turn it
in a little and starts to sound correct and come alive !
Buddy walks up and says you can't tune a saw like that ! You
gotta be cutting underload and have someone help adjust it, WTF
! nice guy but drunken indian !
What do you guys think ?

tune my saws out of the wood. works good for me! 8)

For firewood cutting I have my saws 4 stroking with a burbling
sound and clear up in the cut.
Here is a Sachs Dolmar 166 I had really rich. listen to how it
cleans up in the wood.

How do i remove the limiters ???? Are they plastic, my saw has a
rubber boot looking thing do i remove that and work through the
hole of do i take the saw apart, Thanks for the videos and web
site ! Great info !!!
SO TUNING IT WHILE CUTTING COULD CAUSE A LEAN CONDITION AND
DAMAGE THE SAW ! CORRECT !

you need to pull the carb to remove the caps unless you have the
correct tool from stihl. you can use a wood screw to remove
them. screw the screw in clockwise and once it bites in turn the
cap counter clockwise until the slot line up then pull it out.
you can tune in the with some help but id have it close before i
try it.

They came out easy, now just waiting on my new dogs and exhaust
cover, decided to buy the bailys one. Mine is a chrome vent and
looks funny with a little chrome scoop on the cover ! LOL !!
