    Ran a few tanks of fuel through the latest rebuild and I think I've got it dialed in. First video it was a running a little fat as you can hear a bit of 4 stroking in the cut. Second video I leaned it out just a tad. Then on my very last cut hit a nail :headbang:. Don't know how I didn't see the friggin thing sticking 2" out of the log :rofl: :lol:. In my defense it's 90⁰ and humid as a dang rain forest out here so I'll blame it on the sweat in my eyes.

    24" bar and oregon EXL chain

    Hate hitting metal. It was throwing real nice chips too :thumbs:. I run a 24" 80% of the time on my XS365sp and I think it's the bee's knees.

    It sure was, until that dreaded sound lol. I was running this bar on my other 365sp until I built this saw with the 372 p&c. The 24 was a good match for the 365 though.

    Mag Craft that's actually a piece of the nail stuck in the cutter. I was trying to get the phone to zoom in on it better.
