    Where is the adjustment screw on my MS-362? It is not on the bottom so I took off the bar cover and noticed a screw on the bar. Did not fool with it until I had more info. Thanks in advance men.

    Should be in the same spot as it is on my 261. On the bottom.

    Ralphie, that is exactly like mine. I saw the diagram but for the life of me could not see a screw. Is that an Allen wrench you are using? The adjustment screw must be recessed I'm assuming. I'll check tomorrow
    Thanks for the input

    Found it and got it adjusted Ralphie. It is a small screw and in a very out of the way place. Oiling perfect and now if I could just find something to cut.
