It makes absolutely no difference if the chain is on or off. It only matters that it is up to operating temperature. A 5hp chainsaw won't tune differently spinning a 3/8" oiled chain.
Pretty big difference between the two but both are fantastic. Do what I did and get both. If you find an 025 with a dead engine like I did, you can get a copy cat replacement for $60 and it's up and going again. The 026 is great too and more in the middle
Some like you figured it out Craig. A sheared flywheel key. Good work going down the checklist
Never adjust a carburator with no blade and chain on !!

Nice Dogs! WOW! Sounds like a chainsaw Now! Would have never though of a sheer key being a problem! Nice work Craig!
Good saws. I’m looking for a 036 or 025
