    Yeah. Pretty happy. He has a big back log. So it won't be for awhile.

    Thanks bro!

    I agree. It's gone. As well as the dealer stickers.. All 2 of them :( I put them on the competition Earthquake chainsaw I have. I'm putting all sorts of random stickers on it.
    It's the first "Pro" Earthquake with a Flippy cap sticker. :)

    Yeah. Yesterday. Had about 2 minutes. Then it started to rain, then sleet, and then we got 6" of snow in a fee hours. .

    So yeah, but not really... I honestly tried. ;)

    Here is a pic of under the hood. The way the throttle works now is crazy. There is a Lot going on.

    Dex, is that a dual butterfly carb or a split-stream type? Glad to see the MS261-style air cleaner on there. Big improvement there over the OE 362.

    How big/small is that outlet? Dime? Smaller? At least it's a split can so you can do quite a bit of work on it. Baffles inside?

    You've had that saw like three whole days now. Why isn't it in pieces yet?! (Who does that sound like...... :whistle:)

    I think mine is smaller than a dime, but not much. The muffler is an empty can. No baffles. Just the spark screen.

    It looks like the tip of a pencil could barely fit through that outlet.

    Yeah, it's pretty small. I will try and get a pic with a dime in the photo and an actual measurement.

    Although I will be opening it up, I won't be doing so for awhile. For "break-in" I want to leave it alone. After the little issue of my clutch drum bearing exploding on my 441, I will let it be. Just in case.

    Got a few things I want to do before I can dilly dally with the 362. But took a quick pic of a dime in the outlet area. That hole is much smaller than a dime.
