My 362 now has about 20 tanks ran through it and I noticed today that it wanted to bog down when cutting up a white oak. It would bog to the point of nearly stopping and I would have to pull back to get the rpm's back up. I have never adjusted the carb and was wondering if I should and how to go about doing it correctly. It has a 20" bar but I don't think it should have bogged down like it did. Thanks for any help.

That big ass saw (100+ ccs) just makes it even easier to hear what's happening. Love it, that vid's a keeper!

Sorry Jay, I think we have a new go to link for carb tuning!

I'm going to throw in, make sure your air filter is spotlessly clean before you re-tune.

Going to have to make a better habit of this. I checked the pre filter and man was it clogged up. Actually, had a bunch of dust in the main filter. Cleaned them both and now it sounds like the ones in the videos and I didn't tune a bit. Going to have to do better.

Thanks for the replies and the reminder.
