Hi all. After a lot of Internet sleuthing regarding new saws and tuning I've run across a term that I THINK I understand. FOUR stroking. I've been around four stroke and two stroke engines most of my life. When someone is talking about a chainsaw engine four stroking, this is what I THINK they mean. When the engine is WOT it has a smooth sound but when it's four stroking it gets a sort of "buzz" or miss sound? Am I on the right track? I know on my two stroke bikes if I'm heavy on the throttle and the in the power band it's a smooth sound and smooth power but as soon as I back of it the load drops it goes into the kinda "lopey" condition. Am I thinking of the right thing here?
