Hi All,
Cut up some log lengths today with the 250 and 361. Although the 250 bogs down sometimes when deep in the cut (frozen oak), it's super lightweight and nimble and starts with one pull every time (when warm--4 when cold). I think the 250 is super under-rated. The 361, on the other hand, cures cancer.

I haven't opened the muffler on either of them--I'm still waiting for them to break in!

Just wondering if you know your bar is upside down on your 250.
 
Webie, really? I want to assume you're joking, what with all those saws and all. But then I think you're serious.

He cuts from the bottom of the log, up. So its OK.
 
I just wondered if you noticed your powerhead is mounted upside down on that bar. If you just take your chain and turn it upside down and then flip the front to the back you should be ok.

Wouldn't it be easier to move the bar to recoil/recoil to bar so not to have to flip the chain!?
