    Tony at Amick's is a real helpful guy. Cut the smaltz and get the Tech-tach.

    I had one of those cheapo tachs that Bailey's sells. No comparison.

    .. Adjusting Hi / Low screws

    I've had a couple tachs, and that one is a real good one. It has some different functions, and the readout is nice and clear. Wireless and with a wire, but wireless has always worked for me. Worth the money.

    .. Adjusting Hi / Low screws

    I don't know if there is any hard fast rule about running at WOT. When I don't hear any of that gurgling sound it gives me the creeps, and I like to back right off. I think we tend to be a bit conservative about running at WOT with a richer setting, and even getting close to that ultimate...

    .. Adjusting Hi / Low screws

    Funny thing with adjusting the carb on the newly acquired 020, a Zama with no fuel pump. I couldn't get the high speed adjustment to bring the saw up to the max rpm specs, even with it closed all the way. :\: The low speed was too rich even though the idle and rev up was good. With the low...

    .. Adjusting Hi / Low screws

    Some saws seem to need more frequent adjustment, some none at all. You don't need a tach to adjust, but having a good one is cool. It's nice to reference a tach sometimes, it helps to teach your ear too. I dig adjusting, finding the sweet spot. I think it's a deep thing that borders on spiritual.
