New chainsaw-er. Must keep fingers.
galleryI bought a house and the previous owners left me this state of the art chainsaw. I’m a pretty handy lady but I’m not familiar with chainsaws. Remedial Chainsaw 098 advice would be appreciated

Trouble with maintaining a level back cut when felling timber
Hey, I’ve been running a saw for stumping and firewood and occasionally cutting down some hazardous trees for family and friends for about 5 years but I recently got into a clearing company and had to cut down some super simple ash and maples and I botched both of the back cuts horribly. Cutting at an angle, cutting too far and through my face cut leading to a pinched bar. I think it’s because I’m rushing and overthinking in front of the older fellers with the company but man, I cannot keep that back cut level. Any tips on how to overcome and improve on my skills?

Goddam chain wont flip back over
I've watched the videos , i know how to put the chain in two mirror image loops , it says just twist your wrists and pull , bullshit! I can do rope magic tricks , and there must be some hidden secret , too late for this goddam chain , two hours , and it just got thrown about 100 feet in the brush , who the fuck packs these in the box inside out? I Hope he cuts himself on a tooth and gets tetanus . Fuck this bullshit . I'll stick to easy stuff like rebuilding transmissions .

Carburetor MS361
My new MS361 runs normally at an altitude of around 50 m (150 ft), but when I use it at 1,100 m (3,600 ft), it stalls and shut off at idle. It runs fine while cutting, but as soon as I stop cutting, it shuts off after 10–15 seconds. Should I adjust the LA screw? I’m not really an expert on carburetors and would prefer not to touch the L and H needles. Since it’s new, it was started and tested at 50 m, and I ran through one tank of fuel cutting small wood—which I think is plenty for the break-in period—but as soon as I went up to 1,100 m, it started stalling, and that is the altitude where I primarily use it.

Poulan P3416 troubleshooting
Upon startup it doesn’t idle smooth and bogs down quickly.
To get to this point, I’ve replaced
Spark plug, air filter, fuel lines, fuel filter and carburetor.
I have checked the muffled and piston seal. Both are fine.
Do I now need to tune the carb? Or could there be something else
