Took the new saw out and buried it in some logs....wowsers! Angry saw. I'm used to using our ms391 at work, and this is a completely new animal! Smooth and powerful, a real screamer for only 60cc! It should get much better once it has 7-8 tanks through it. I'm running the 3 quarts of premix now for the extra warranty. Brand new , out of the box, filled it up, pumped the ball. Pulled twice with the choke on, turned it off and fired up without a hiccup. Ran it wide open in a big log for 3-5 minutes like the manual said to do. Then I made a bunch of cuts in some other logs and shut it off. Restarted no problem when hot! I'm gonna love this auto tune!!! Awesome saw

Buying the 3 quarts of pre mix to double the warranty to 4 years is a good move. ;)

When I am done cutting for a while with a particular saw I will run the regular mixed gas out and fill with 4-5 ounces of the canned premix. Run it a couple minutes to make sure the new gas has gotten into the carb and store it that way. The shelf life is 2-3 years.
