Nothing better than coming back to watch Buckin’ after taking a break from YouTube for a while. I absolutely adore this man. I don’t know him personally but the man that comes across on camera is so caring, genuine, & one of a kind. I respect almost anybody that is this comfortable with themselves.

Oh Heck yeah! I have been there, There was a time it seemed I lived there. I can manage some now, I'm nowhere near GOOD, but I can manage. Thanks in no small part to you, dear Buckin', I can even sharpen a passable chain. Thank you for all the teaching you do. Best to you and the family, God Bless

Very helpful- Puts a lot things together I have had to learn by trial and error. Getting a good low idle and no lag trigger has always been what I work toward. This reinforced that I am shooting for the right target. Thanks- your always fun and helpful.

Awesome, thank you sir! Looking forward to putting in some work with them. Love, love, love the tuning video. Very informative if you are struggling to get those pesky screws in the right spot.
Love ya brother! Thank you for the continuous positivity!!!

Glad you're feeling better.
That saw sounds great after the tune. Been running a couple modded 372s I have, one has a base gasket delete and a triple ported stock muffler; stock port, one out the front thru the bracket, and one on the right side, she's loud, but runs awesome.
Thanks for commenting about language at the beginning, I really appreciate it. I'll happily let my boy watch your videos again 👍.

Buckin. Another great video for us to learn from. Tuning a saw is very instrumental in making the saw work as it should. Keep the content coming. ❤

Thank you for making these videos! I have used them a ton when rebuilding my now complete and ripping Mac 300! For a 58 year old saw it runs amazing. Now I just want to restore more Macs!

Spot on, one thing that some people don’t realise is exactly what you said about running a rich low speed setting, it can limit your high speed from being able to go lean enough.

Though I will open the butterfly a bit more than you did, when tuning the low, it helps you hear lean, peak and rich.

Awesome video!! Love that you take the time to explain things the way people can understand them.

Buckin! Thanks for the informative video!! I have had the same issue several times with my 372s...thank you for clearly explaining how the L jet and idle can make such a difference for throttle response!! Great content friend, hope ya have a safe, great day!! And thanks again!

Great teaching video Buckin. I'm working on my chainsaw tuning but I've got a little ways to go.

Tuning nightmares been there for sure especially on the low jets. Sounds like a Harley Davidson idling love it 👍👍

Wonderful to see this video. My brand new 462 has been dying both before and after putting a bark box on it, trying to dial in my low jet has proved tricky. Seems I need to get my idle out of the way and then maybe i can hear it race and find the right lean.

I DO remember the filing video. Great video! Thanks for sharing Billy Ray!

@ 2:50 from rip-snortin Saw roar to the birds chirping! Classic BBR - your 'lab' is always on the job, in the bunker, or on the tailgate. Keep rollin BBR! Power to the Kindness!

[aaronpowell]

Heck yeah! I've had that with piped saws. Thankfully I figured it out but wouldn't have taken near as long if I'd seen this video a couple years ago😅
Thanks for sharing!👍🏻

I used to ride in Moto-Cross and the rules stated that the engine must cut out when the throttle is released. So we would have to tune the low running with some throttle stop screwed in, then when all was Ok, we would have to turn that slow throttle screw all the way off. One other factor with two-strokes is that the crankcase is part of the induction system. If you run a rich idle, then the crankcase will slowly fill with some fuel and after about twenty seconds the engine will die out with a rich cut.
